Mark Memmott
In these passages, Mark Memmott develops the main idea by elaborating that the tragedy is not popularly recognized in the present and then, displays the reason of it being worthy of being recalled.
Both the passages provide details to accomplish the idea that present people are not much aware of it and are "long forgotten."
Therefore, it must be recalled so that people can be aware of it and understand it effectively.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Read the excerpt from "Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre'" by Mark Memmott.
Passage A:
This week, people from around the world are expected to gather in the Dominican Republic for a "Border of Lights" commemoration that aims to "honor a tragedy long forgotten, and unknown to many people."
Passage B:
Trujillo, as the Border of Lights website explains, fed and nurtured anti-Haitian sentiment and created an atmosphere that still excludes ethnic Haitians from becoming part of "the Dominican melting pot."
The method his soldiers used in 1937 to try to identify those who would be killed was cruelly unique. When confronting someone in the lands along the border with Haiti, they would hold up a sprig of parsley and ask what it was. If the person responded by trilling the "r" in perejil (Spanish for parsley), he would be free to go. Anyone who didn't trill the "r" was thought to be a Haitian Creole speaker—and was likely to be killed.
