SUMMARY:

Martin Luther King, Jr.'s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” responds to critiques that arose from non-violent protests that took place on 16th April 1963 in Birmingham, Alabama. King reacts specifically to the eight white clergymen’s open letter in a newspaper that terms the protests as “unwise and untimely.”

This 10th - 12th grade canonized work allows students to understand the need for standing on your own and standing up for what is right.
