Mr King Letter From Birmingham Jail Analysis
Constructive Reasoning
Clergymen,
In a statement recently issued by yourselves concerning Mr. King’s behavior in Birmingham Alabama describing him as an outsider and extremist of his ways was inconsiderate as well as rude. Mr. King’s extremist ways, as you have put them, are an effort to better improve the physical and emotional consequences of segregation.

I hope that you reconsider your position and take a stand for justice in an unjust world.
