Story5 out of 5 stars 224
On April 16, 1963, as the violent events of the Birmingham campaign unfolded in the city's streets, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., composed a letter from his prison cell in response to local religious leaders' criticism of the campaign. The resulting piece of extraordinary protest writing, "Letter from Birmingham Jail", was widely circulated and published in numerous periodicals. After the conclusion of the campaign and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, King further developed the ideas introduced in the letter in Why We Can't Wait.

I wanted to go back to the beginning of the modern civil rights movement. We as a country have created new sanctioned forms of discrimination and cancellation, too, so it's worth a refresher to understand and persevere with patience and nonviolent insistence.
