LETTER FROM BIRMINGHAM JAIL..
LIANA AND NAWAB
Introduction
Background of Martin Luther King Jr.
Injustice and racial segregation between the 1950s
and early 60s
HIS GOAL WAS TO ACHIEVE RACIAL EQUALITY
AND A UNITED BROTHERHOOD.
CLERGYMEN ACCUSED HIM OF ;
TENSION
EXTREMISM
UNTIMELY PROTESTS
MAIN POINTS
“
JUSTICE TOO LONG DELAYED IS JUSTICE
DENIED”
IMPORTANT QUOTES
“
SO THE QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER WE WILL BE
EXTREMISTS BUT WHAT KIND OF EXTREMISTS WE
WILL BE. WILL WE BE EXTREMISTS FOR LOVE OR
FOR HATE? WILL WE BE EXTREMISTS FOR THE
PRESERVATION OF JUSTICE OE EXTREMISTS FOR
THE CAUSE OF JUSTICE?”
W
e must see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create
the kind of tension in society that will help men rise
from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to
majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.”
W
e must use time creatively in the knowledge that
time will inevitably cure all ills. Actually time is
neutral. It can be used either destructively or
constructively.
T
hank You for your patience…
Happy spring break!!
