Martin Luther King Jr. wrote this letter on a newspaper from prison on April 16, 1963. He had no place to write so he wrote on the outlines of the newspaper. He aimed the letter for the writers of the newspaper article. Martin Luther King Jr, was a Civil Rights activist who wanted freedom for his people. He explains how the police beat them up at their own will. They used brutality in the form of dogs, they would not feed the people, and they would curse at them. MLK explains how if he was not in prison right now he would have approached everyone and talked to them in peace. His tone in this letter is calm,encouraging, and emotional.
I think that MLK is a very wise man who seeks freedom for his people in the right way. He does not want any violence or any killings. All he wants to do is talk and help people understand that the color of your skin does not matter. I found this letter extremely interesting, and I wish there were many other activists like him out there. His letter should point out to everyone that it does not matter who you are, you could still make a difference.
