Influential part in Martin Luther King Jr.’s letter
The Birmingham letter was full of inspiration and motivation for people who participate in legal activities that advocate for justice. However, some parts were more influential, like when he defended his action to initiate a nonviolent movement and was meant to create awareness and resist racism (Augustine, 2017). Moreover, he encouraged people to act and fight for their rights as long as they are not violent and are peaceful. He gave people hope for the future to those who serve right. Martin Luther is not sorry for doing the right thing and wanted his imprisonment to act as a moral lesson to others.
