A Letter from Birmingham Jail

Reflection of A Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther Kingjr. For our honors portfolio this quarter we were required to remove three documents. We, then, were quizzed over each of the acquireings. First, we read Letter from a Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King, Jr. , then, we read the replica of President John F. Kennedys inaugural address, and last but non least, we read Millennial Makeover by Morley Winograd and Michael Hals.Furthermore, we had to read and analyze the documents because the quizzes required us to value deeper than the written words on the paper. I believe these documents are circumstantial because they have shaped the government and our society today. My favorite of these three documents, if I had to pick. would be Letter from a Birmingham Jail, not only because I admire Martin Luther King Jr. , but also because this garner Is a very powerful and Inspiring piece of work.Luther wrote maculation being intent in a jail in Birmingham, Alabama, for par ticipating in polite rights demonstrations. His letter states that he will continue resisting nonviolently against racial dissimilarity and pleads the readers to catch segregation from a different point f view. Moreover, I noticed that he quoted many an(prenominal) people including Apostle Paul, St. Augustine, Reinhold Niebuhr and many others. This made me take that he most wishly had the quotations memorized since he didnt have access to those sources magic spell impris championd.He mentions that injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere and that an dirty law is no law at all (Luther). This means that an inequitable law causes harm for example, If it Is lawful to torture a certain mathematical group of people, then that is not a law whatsoever. This idea of injustice affects many directly, ut also affects everyone else indirectly in the fact that prejudice is occurring slightly them. Furthermore, his words describe in detail what segregation was Ilke and what p eople like him had to go through.This impacted me because forthwith, the idea of racial discrimination is completely frowned upon, while in the 1900s it was something that seemed right and normal. It took years of hard work, bloody massacres. and non-stop action to take for bear uponity and I hate to see that a little snatch of racism still exists today. The idea that immigrants are taking a musical mode Jobs and opportunities that should be for U. S. citizens. surprises me because this country was founded and created by immigrants.Instead of seeing different countries and different people in one world, we should see the whole world as one, because every tender being, no matter what race. has his/her own rights and should have the same opportunities that his neighbor does. Luther is one of the most charismatic and persuasive people in history and has not only inspired many, but also revolutionized a countrys view. He wrote this letter hoping to stir up some emotion and I think he got his point across in very non-violent and mature kind of way that was unexpected and at the same time, admirable.His stance ofa nonviolent action and the despairing cry for an end to social discrimination is as powerful now as It was 50 years ago. We now stand by these light values and believe the God has made us all equal and has given us n r gnts tnat no law after part take away. A tnougn tnls was not an easy project, I certainly did date something from it and it inspired me to stand up for my beliefs, but also, in a way, allowed me to see that anything is possible through hard work.
