Letter From Birmingham City Jail

Dr. King's famous "Letters from Birmingham Prison" is an answer to a statement by several Alabama clerics. In this statement, the cleric insisted that Dr. King's method was "wise and obsolete". They call him "an external agitator" and he should not insist on breaking the law. Dr. King answered this letter carefully to quote the Bible, classical and early Americans against the cleric's argument.

Letters from Birmingham Prison, known as Birmingham City Prison, and Blacks are your brothers written by Martin Luther King on April 16, 1963. This letter defends a nonviolent resistance strategy against racial discrimination. It says that people have moral responsibility to defeat unjust laws and cause direct action, rather than waiting for a court case forever. In response to what is known as "outsiders", Kim writes, "Injustice everywhere is a threat to justice."

King is known for a letter from Birmingham Prison or a letter from Birmingham City Prison. This was an open letter written from City Prison, Birmingham, Alabama on April 16, 1963, he was arrested for participating in the Birmingham campaign, a non-violent protest action by the Alabama Christian human rights movement. And the King 's Southern Christian Leadership Conference opposed apartheid of Birmingham city council and downtown retailer. The letter of the king is an answer to the statement "seeking unity" issued by eight White clergy in Alabama on April 12, 1963. The clergy agree that there is social unfairness, but I think that the fight against apartheid should be done only in the court instead of on the street. Kim answered that true citizenship will never be realized if there is no nonviolent and forced direct action like him.
