Letter from a Birmingham Jail (King Jr.)
What was King's goal to reach across when he wrote the letter from Birmingham? I believe that his goal was to let us know what it was like to experience what he experience when he was in Birmingham. However, he first started off my saying that the, "I have came across your recent statement calling my present activities." This simply meant in my opinion that he what he was doing in his present activities, where affecting what was going to happen in the furtue. In order for us to actually to understand what King was trying to reach out to us he began to go on about how as disscued in class the injustice and justic actions there have been taking place in Birmingham. An injustice was that the boundaries of our hometowns where being destroyed due to the fact of un-cruel treatment of segregation. "Negros have expeienced grossly unjust treament in the courts." This statement made it clear about how they unjustice was being served where King was because he saw it and expereinced it. My opinion about this article was to get a clear vision about what King was actually talking about and I can truly say that he proved his point because not only did he convince us that he was going through so much, but it was also a stopping point where he actually had to sit down and write what was going on through his jounery of making a huge change in the world.
