Isn't it ironic that Martin Luther King Jr.'s, “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” which testifies to his fight for civil rights; not only does it contradict the era in which Martin Luther King wrote it, but it also echoes the same sentiments as moral causes and laws today? . Dr. King (&*), then known as Baptist minister Martin Luther King Jr., wrote the letter to Birmingham in response to criticism from his fellow clergymen of his arrest for his actions in the Birmingham civil rights protest. The letter's emotional appeal of pathos and righteousness is evident when Dr. King compares his reasons for writing the letter to those of the eighth-century prophets, who wanted to carry forward the righteous word of the Lord. Just as these prophets chose to fight for righteous causes, so did he. Dr. King used this letter as a means to bring to light the immoralities and injustices that existed around him. Martin Luther King described the well-known strain of racism among African Americans that plagued the southern part of North America. From “colored” and “white” race cues directing them to which bathrooms or fountains to use, and even to the segregation of their children from Caucasian children in the American education system. The last of the three steps part of a nonviolent campaign “Nonviolent Direct Action” (page 118 par. 4 sentence 9) as described by Dr. King was a progressive movement used to move away from “hateful peace” (page 118 par. 4 sent. 6), which existed in the South, and to the appreciation for the human being. This method was a means to achieve madness, stop any further bloodshed, and quell rising tensions. Sit-ins, marches, and protests were all types of nonviolent warfare strategies used by African Americans to fight for equality… at the heart of the paper… under the conditions of a separate but equal society. they are worse than those who openly support it because they constitute the majority. With a population of indifferent people. Which are bigger than what the naysayers, or supporters say they are also the perfect position to make a change and choose not to. Although all men should share the same common point of good nature in the underlying moral and ethical law until they realize this commonality, the laws they create will never be implemented morally, or with the support of all. Within the Letter from Birmingham Jail, he illustrates the civil rights movement as a moral way to fight immoral causes, makes arguments that everyone can agree with, and, most importantly, shows that when actions are supported by God's moral law, man's ethical sanctions can support and cause the mental growth of a nation.
