Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr.
Written from a jail cell in 1963, this is a brilliant call for justice, civil disobedience & moral clarity.

This quote is drawn from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From a Birmingham Jail.” Written as a response to local clergy’s “call for unity” during the protests of 1963, the letter’s defense of nonviolent resistance and its insistence on justice for all have made it a foundational text of both the civil rights movement and history classrooms.
