"Letter from Birmingham City Jail"

     Martin Luther King has written the "Letter from Birmingham City Jail" on April 16, 1963, when he was arrested in Birmingham Jail. King had been arrested for speaking his thoughts aloud. He believed in civil rights, freedom, and equality. The letter, he had most probably thought of being discovered, was originally handwritten by King himself. Since he had no other paper with him in jail, he had used the margins of the newspaper to write down his thoughts, his response to the newspaper article. The letter was a way for King to vent and express his feelings and emotions toward the writers of the newspaper article.
     In the letter, King had expressed his words with encouragement and emotion. His intention of this letter was to inform, persuade and explain about the situations in Birmingham, including other towns. He had presented the immortality of most towns such as Birmingham. There was vast amount of police brutatlity and segregation that was not acceptable in his and majority of the people's nature. King will always be remembered as a man who had fought for his right without intention of a fight.
