In Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, King explores and rejects the different issues presented as a public statement of concern, issued by religious leaders in the South. King talks about his decision of nonviolence in his movement against racial segregation and addresses the problems people were making everyday in respect to the end of segregation. He discusses his personal experience dealing with racial segregation and his reason to promote change. King also discussed the injustice law seemed to reinforce in his society. “Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crises and establish such creative tension that a community that has consistently refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue.” (King, 264)
