"I have  almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride  toward freedom is not the White citizens’ “Councilor” or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white  moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the  absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice;" (4)

Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is a letter Dr.King wrote from the confines of a cell in response to criticism he faced from white Clergymen in Birmingham, Alabama on his methods of protest. In King's response to an open letter criticizing his methods of protest, King begins with a calm and respectful tone as he explains his presence in Birmingham and the steps he takes in his non-violent protests. King details the letter with his reasons for non-violent protest as well as examples of other protests using methods similar to his. As King concludes his letter, his tone ascends to anger as he discusses the evils of segregation. MLK concludes the letter with the hope that white appropriation in segregation will come to a close and the evils of segregation will be recognized.
