The Letter from a Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr. discusses M.L.K.’s desire to end segregation and racial injustice in America for the good of the people. Although these two bold characters differ in their ways of gaining justice, both Antigone and Martin Luther King Jr. neglect laws that they believe to be unjust, regardless of the negative results that follow.…

    Martin recalls this quote by Henry David Thoreau whenever doubt began creeping in his mind. He realized though that the boycott was the right thing to do. In that situation, the quote's meaning is that if the black communities were to keep ignoring and suffering through their oppression, nothing would be done to fix it and it would be like they were agreeing to it. Without standing up to the evil that is pressed against the black people, they would succumb down again. If a person isn't fighting against the known evil, they are letting it happen.…
