Soapst MLK letter from Birmingham Jail

     Martin Luther King Jr. is the speaker in this letter. It was written on April 16,1963 from the Birmingham City Jail. He was outraged from a newspaper article about eight clergyman calling him names and insults. His audience is directed to the writer or the article, and if we refer to ourselves, then also the people as well. The article in simple words was defending the whites and their actions. They supported the immoral doings of the whites toward the blacks. King believed that violence is never the answer, but the result can always be reached with protest and fighting for freedom. The purpose of his letter was civil rights and freedom. During the whole letter his tone was calm, encouraging, emotional, and heartfelt. He described the inhumane and immoral doings of the police department toward the Negroes and how no one came and helped them. He is fighting for justice, because in his time immoral doings were hidden by moral "doings".
