In the spring of 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr, moved his operations into Birmingham, Alabama, to protest what he believed to be illegal and unjust segregation laws. With his efforts struggling to find success, he deliberately put himself in jail as an attempt to inspire his followers. While sitting in a Birmingham jail cell, he was given a newspaper with a declaration from local clergymen denouncing his aggressive actions and calling on him to "wait.
"A Letter from a Birmingham Jail" is MLK's response, written on scraps of paper and in the margins of the newspaper and smuggled out of the jail at great risk while MLK was detained there. It is one of the most important documents in US history as a defense of non-violence and the power of using love as a weapon. |
