Dr.King

            
            
             King reacts passionately to comments made referring to several moral and ethical reasons why he non-violently is protesting in Birmingham Alabama. Dr. King discusses in a very logical and valid manner why he and his following have been invited to take place in a non-violent protest aimed at segregation in Birmingham. He believes that" Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."" He goes on to say that what affects one directly affects us all indirectly and this is why he is protesting in Birmingham. Dr. King agrees with the white religious leaders that it is unfortunate that this demonstration is taking place but how it is even more unfortunate that the white population of Birmingham has left the black community with no other option.
             Dr. King writes while sitting in his Birmingham jail cell about how he believes that if justice is too long delayed it is practically being denied. Dr. King emotionally appeals to these white religious leaders to momentarily stop and try to consider a different point of view. I believe one of his most important emphases Dr. King relates to his critics is how to relate to theme how hard it is to explain to their children why these unjust uncivilized laws have to be obeyed. He would like one of these white religious leaders to try to explain to his own "six year old daughter why they can not go to the amusement park they just saw on TV."" Dr. King goes on to give several other examples on how humiliating and difficult it is every day to tell their children why they can't do this or can't do that. All he is appealing for is justice and equality, nothing more.
             Dr. King does agrees with the white religious leaders in that he also wants people to obey the law especially since congresses outlawing of segregation in public schools. He however does go on to state that he believes that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. He believes it is very obvious to distinguish the difference in a just and unjust law.
