April 16th. The year is 1963. Birmingham, Alabama has had a spring of non-violent protests known as the Birmingham Campaign, seeking to draw attention to the segregation against blacks by the city government and downtown retailers. The organizers longed to create a non-violent tension so severe that the powers that be would be forced to address the rampant racism head on. Recently arrested was Martin Luther King, Jr.. It is there in that jail cell that he writes this letter; on the margins of a newspaper he pens this defense of non-violence against segregation. His accusers, though many, in this case were not the white racist leaders or retailers he protested against, but 8 black men who saw him as "other" and as too extreme. To them and to the world he defended the notion that "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere".… (mais)

This is timeless in its importance and voice. ( )

Beautiful and clever, very inspirating. ( )

There was a time when I respected Malcolm X much more than MLK because MLK was a Christian minister & Malcolm X was a criminal. I despise Christianity (for the most part) & can identify strongly w/ what I call the "criminally sane" - meaning people who have the courage to defy obviously oppressive (& totally legal) social systems. These days, though, I have to concede that MLK got much more positive done. Besides wch, the Nation of Islam that X was associated w/ was, IMO, a thoroughly racist & hateful institution. W/ that as a preface, I find it disappointing that even MLK uses "anarchy" as a bogeyman: I quote: "In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law as the rabid segregationist would do. This would lead to anarchy." Ho hum. Still, despite that, this is an important pamphlet/essay/letter.

This letter is so important and still reads to be so true and so relevant. I was assigned this for school (as well as on civil disobedience which I will be reading next) though I have read it before. It's also especially relevant because yesterday I marched in the women's march in Atlanta. I live in the 5th district in Atlanta and John Lewis is my congressman (my district is doing just fine,by the way. Don't believe everything you read in a tweet). He spoke at the march yesterday and told all of us in the crowd to not let anyone turn us around. It is always important to be reminded that the time is always right to stand up against injustice. Martin Luther King Jr understood this better than anyone and we can all wish to be half the person he was. His words still bring inspiration and hope. When you're fighting it can often feel you're fighting alone but if you're fighting for what's right someone will always be standing right there with you ( )

Every bit as relevant today as it was then. I wish it hadn't taken me so long to read this--it is *so* good.

This is available on Hoopla. Dion Graham's cadence does justice to the intonation of Dr. King. ( )
