In Martin Luther King’s “Letter From Birmingham”, he is writing to his fellow clergymen. The letter is in response to a newspaper article about his actions of breaking a law while taking part in a nonviolent campaign against segregation as being called “unwise and untimely”. King did not typically write responses, but he did feel that the clergymen deserved an explanation for his actions. King answers the statement made that his actions were untimely and should have waited. He says that blacks have waited for over 340 years for their rights. Blacks have been waiting for a time where colored children don’t have to ask why they are treated more poorly than white children or why some places are for white people only. King discusses justice
