请分析一下句子结构,最好翻译一下.谢谢先!

much less: used to say that a greater thing is even less true, likely, or possible than the thing you have just mentioned;     And certainly not;   更不用说。其实就是let along或not to say的意思。

Roy Wilkins was among the last of a generation of civil rights activists who led the nation through decades of change so profound that many young Americans cannot imagine，much less remember，what segregation was like.

remember和 imagine平行。what segregation was like 是imagine和remember的宾语。如果在考试时不知道much less的用法，这个，much less remember，是插入语，可以剔掉而不影响句义。

Roy Wilkins was among the last of a generation of civil rights activists who led the nation through decades of change so profound that

请分析前面的结构led the nation through decades of change so profound that?

谢谢先

不好意思，I falsely depended on a gratuitous assumption that it is the “much less” that confused you.范了先入为主的错误了。是不是也可以称为hasty generalization?

Roy Wilkins was among the last of a generation of civil rights activists （who led the nation through decades of change so profound that many young Americans cannot imagine，much less remember，what segregation was like. ）who后都是定语从句。

so profound是change的后置定语。可以理解成who led the nation through decades of change （that was）so profound that many young Americans cannot imagine，much less remember，也就是 The change was so profound that many young Americans cannot imagine （and remember ）what segregation was like.

没办法，中国人读英文要适应从后往前读，还不时要知道哪儿省略了。
