Letter from Birmingham Jail

Written on the margins of a newspaper in an Alabama jail in 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 'Letter from Birmingham Jail' is a response to eight white Alabama clergymen, who argued that he battle against racial segregation should be fought in the courts – not the streets. 'The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life' was first delivered as a sermon at the New Covenant Baptist Church in Chicago on April 9, 1967. This landmark missive from one of the greatest activists in history calls for direct, non-violent resistance in the fight against racism, and reflects on the healing power of love.
