Summary of letter from Birmingham

injustice, racism, and segregation has been embedded in our history and has slowly transcended into modern society. Dr. Martin Luther King in his letter, “Letter from Birmingham Jail” claims that the laws in the South are unjust and need to be addressed. He supports his claims by first stating why Birmingham is unjust, after he expands on the issues of gaining freedoms. Lastly, he explains why nonviolent solutions the best solutions for colored people are to be heard.

“We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitution and God-Given rights”

He uses an emotional tone by saying that they have waited 340 years to be given something that they should have rightfully had already. This influences the reader emotionally because it is going to make them realize that Dr. King is speaking the truth, which will likely influence a change in their current laws. He also goes deep into context by using a father’s daughter to pose the question of why she is unable to go to the amusement park, and the father forced to explain that it’s because of her color. He could have easily suggested that the majority of people wait and see what happens, but he demanded change immediately. By demanding change, he gains a sense of command and leadership which people admire and start to follow, which encourages them to speak out

Closing the presentation

Dr.King was a heavy advocate for justice all over the world. He was highly respected for his writings, views, and bravery. As a result of this, many clergymen were not too fond of him and decided to arrest him for protesting segregation. While he was in jail, he wrote a very inspirational letter. This letter appealed to many and received a lot of attention because of the fact that it went against the laws and people in higher power. The letter made many assumptions, such as freedom is not actually free and constitutional rights are not given to everyone. This made many people of color realize that these things are true and, therefore, protest .In the 1900’s, racial segregation was very isolating and degrading, from verbal comments to signs on community stores and public drinking fountains that do not allow people of color to use such things. Dr. King hoped to change the world one day in his writings and dreamed of a better future society that labels everyone as simply human.
