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!!
