Kings Stance In Letter From Birmingham Jail

I completely agree with King’s stance in the first two pages of the letters from Birmingham jail. He places multiple points that retain a complete sense toward the opposition of unfairly treated Blacks in Birmingham. Many events have also occurred in Birmingham to fuel his side of the argument. First, we must note that King’s stance is that segregation is very present in Birmingham and that peace and equality are needed here. The process by which he was there in the first place was completely genuine. He has already gained hate by entering Birmingham due to the fairly placed distrust to strangers and outsiders. However, he has justified this through his program and their goal. His justification surfaces when he notes that he is president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and that he was invited to come to Birmingham on the basis of assisting the segregated community in gaining equality. Even if he weren’t to, it was a respectful and relatable move to go to where you were invited, especially if it is part of the business. This is not even the tip of the iceberg of what King would have to deal with after his arrival. He has noted that there is injustice everywhere in the community. To get the people to believe him on this stance, he has referred to many events that have taken place in the not too distant past during the time of the letter’s origination. The many things that he cites in his letter included the unfair treatment in court

However, the question is how does King prove this? He proves this using many allusions and stories in his letter from Birmingham Jail. He mentions many people from the past who have even begun the thoughts of killing those who did what was right but not socially
