Martin Luther King, Jr.: Letter From Birmingham Jail
Hello everyone! Here is a link to Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail”.
This letter was written on April 16th, 1963 from Birmingham City Jail in Alabama while King was being held after an arrest for his part in a non-violent protest against racial segregation held by the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights and King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
The letter was written in response to a group of eight Alabama clergymen, titled “A Call For Unity”, that agreed that social injustices did exist but stated that the battle against racial segregation should be fought in the courts and not in the streets.
A response to Martin Luther King, Jr’s letter is frequently used as a writing prompt for the Literary Analysis essay on the English Composition exam. So far, no student has reported that they need knowledge of the original letter “A Call for Unity”.
Read the letter carefully, paying attention to King’s statements that civil disobedience is justified when the laws are unjust, and that all citizens have a moral responsibility to disobey laws that are immoral to their fellow man.
