Letters from Birmingham Jail

As opposed to going into great depth and expanding upon each sentence MLK writes, I wanted to keep it simple. Personally, I feel his point is to simply address one specific criticism with which he had been confronted. He clarifies his reason for being in the Birmingham City Jail and delves deep enough into the background behind his actions to get the point across. Through his letter he also hopes to share his beliefs in such a way that may potentially impact his readers.
