Letter From a Birmingham Jail

This blog is based on the notorious letter that came directly from the Birmingham jail on the day of April 16th, 1960 written by the famous Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The letter contains plenty of material that was going through his mind at the time that deals with his many concerns for the colored people around the nation that is receiving no justice what so ever. He begins to stress the fact that how justice is missing throughout the world at the time and is trying to find as many solutions as possible besides resulting into violence, which he believes will cause much more chaos then before. Martin Luther King Jr. was a very passionate man when he spoke about the justice that was not being served throughout the African American communities around the nation as well as the other minorities that live within the United States of America. Most of his emotions spilled into this one note that he inspired someone to reveal the note to the public of Birmingham and the whole world that Dr. King's patience is being tested with these conditions that is being brought upon the African American communities and how is starting to use direct action.

This note really had an affect on me as I'm pretty sure it did with many others that read this very powerful note explaining why he ended up in that disgusting jail cell and if they are trying to use that cell to stop him, that it will be just a waste of time. He will not stop pushing with his marches, sit-ins, all the organizations he is leader of, the speeches, etc. until there is a change amongst the colored people of the United States of America. This showed me how motivated he was to create an opportunity for the people of his own ethnicity and other minorities as well and how you can't let one road block clog up your lane of success. Dr. King didn't choose to give up once he ran into a very challenging obstacle; instead he tucked his head and kept moving along.  This note can touch many other people that would want to read it as well, because I know it showed me to never give up until you get what you asked for!
