An Analysis Of Dr. Martin Luther King's Letter From Birmingham Jail

History has only proven that the insufficiency of equality as individuals brings hostility between people. For example, the discrimination that people of color had suffered due to the rules and restrictions that were imposed to them. Even though, they were American born citizens, the government was not treating them as equal. Therefore, they started to fight for their rights; most of their manifests were non-violent but due to the discernment from the opposite side some of those protests ended up in riots. Dr. Martin Luther king Jr. even describes their frustrations on a letter that he wrote to his oppose white fellow.

The African American men used for the syphilis study were considered vulnerable because these men were susceptible to attack or physical harm due to their race. Aside from that, some of the men didn’t even know they were participants of the study due to the racial discrimination of the US Public Health Service agency (Grove et al., 2015). What makes Americans better than the Nazi Germans? It was only when the public clamored about the injustice and inhumane acts of the study that the government stopped their research (Grove et al.,

The documentary was informative about information that is discussed globally, but is not explained in full detail about the negative aspects that non-political people actually see. For example, the “war on drugs,” was originally started by President Nixon. The rumored main objective was to throw black people away and antiwar left. I believe that white people were fearful of black people after the 13th amendment was passed, which formally ended slavery in 1865. From 1865 till now, some people still express that fear because black people have all the freedoms and rights that everyone else has.

Martin Luther King Jr said,“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools”. In the late 1960s, racial tension was high, African Americans were not given the right to vote, the right to a fair education, and the right to a fair judgement. This then led to the separation of schools and the destruction of a normal livelihood. Dr.King and Malcolm X, two men in the face of oppression rose up to challenge the racial barrier, thus changing the world forever. Although Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X seem to have mutual respect and an equal understanding of the inequality, their philosophies were quite different from each other.

This was right after the first destroying of the marigolds, and instead of joining with the kids in merriment, she instead felt ashamed as a woman. Elizabeth also turns into a child in the story. In a certain case she has to decide between both of them: "I just stood there peering through the bushes, torn between wanting to join the fun and feeling that it was all a bit silly." Elizabeth ends up being less mature than her brother in the end. When she destroys the marigolds for the last time, her brother keeps on trying to stop her: "Lizabeth, stop, please stop!"

Throughout life, one searches for the true meaning of living the good life. However, it is easier to understand how not to live the good life. Through Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” and the Mike Webster Sports Injury Series, it is clear through the readings that the white policemen in the Birmingham Jail and Mike Webster did not live the good life because of their unhappiness and poor relationships with others.

In the beginning of chapter seven, Esteban shows his essentially angry behavior when he smashes a phone after learning that his daughter is pregnant. He also acts somewhat madly when he makes his daughter marry a man he knows little about in order to save his reputation. Esteban throughout much of the book has the continuing illusion that he is shrinking and becoming weaker. In chapter seven his delusion becomes great enough in his mind to warren traveling all the way to the United States to some see North American doctors at what must have been a great personal expense and effort to himself.

Beowulf’s second epic battle is against another monster—Grendel’s mother. Heorot Hall went from celebrating Beowulf’s victory in the epic battle against Grendel to lose their precious victory trophy—Grendel’s hand.

The “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King Jr. is about the unfair, brutal, and racist treatment the black community has been receiving from white people. This letter was written when he was arrested after peacefully protesting about segregation and how the black people didn’t agree with the law. In the letter, Martin Luther King Jr.’s feelings are being expressed toward the unfair events and it is an example of a well-written argument. In the letter are three claims pointed from King, it states he has a valid reason for being in Birmingham, the black community has no alternative, but to demonstrate and the need for justice is urgent. Also, it discusses king’s intentions during the civil rights movements.

The primary objective of the Reconstruction was to reunite the North and the South; however the South gave backlash to the integration of African Americans into their society. They viewed it as a compromise of their ideology. The reconstruction failed to reunite the nation because of the nation’s differences in opinion towards integration. This proved to be a large enough obstacle for the Reconstruction to not achieve its goals and be deemed ineffective.

Humphrey Dunfee is an urban legend intended to scare kids (think: Candyman or the witch 's uvula). It 's first mentioned in Chapter 7, as if kids who are going to be unwound need more to be scared of. The legend says that Humphrey Dunfee 's parents regret unwinding their son, so they 're hunting down pieces of him and rebuilding him, Frankenstein 's monster-style. At the end of the legend, the futility of the mission is addressed. "All the king 's horses and all the king 's men…couldn 't put Humphrey together again" (2.19.173).

To start this letter, King addresses the recipient as “dear fellow clergymen”. I think this is a smart move. Instead of distancing himself from them or arguing with them, King choose to show that he is on the same side. It’s like saying “we have the same goal and are on the same side. It’s just we took different method.” Though the letter, King used all kinds of rhetoric methods to give more well-rounded argument.

Howard Zinn quotes the Oxford English Dictionary in order to explain how Blacks were seen just because of their skin color (31). There are many instances where African Americans fought against white supremacist ideologies on public transportation. For example, Robin D.G. Kelley explains several cases where passengers of color would refuse to give up his or her seat on public transportation or “moving theaters” (57). Another example from Kelley 's " In regards to these acts of resistance, most acts were “unorganized, clandestine, and evasive” which did not result in much positive treatment towards African Americans (Kelley 56).

The repercussions of institutionalized prejudice are far too great for any group to overcome. Jim Crow laws repressed many black americans in the 1850s and the repercussions of that are still affecting black society today. Similarly in the 1800s woman were legally restricted from many of the things men were and still are still unfairly treated to in society
