Letter from Birmingham JailI guess it is easy for those who have
never felt the stinging darts of segregations to say, wait. But
when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at

brutalize and eve kill your black brothers and sisters;when you see

in the air-tight cage of poverty;when you have to concoct an answer

colored people so mean?then you will understand why we find it
