After reading a letter in the newspaper that was published by eight white clergymen the same day that king was arrested, he writes a letter back to them addressing their criticism in a respectful way. He states how he has a duty to fight for justice not only in his hometown but in Birmingham too. King outlines the ideas of nonviolent protest and demonstrates why segregation should not be tolerated.]]> 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609590 Assumptions Offend Others jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609595 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609595 Equality Drives Peace jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609596 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609596 The thematic statement is supported by the quote, "Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise fromthe bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objectiveappraisal, we must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in societythat will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights ofunderstanding and brotherhood" (7). jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609597 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609597 The text evidence to support this is, "Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all of their scintillating beauty"(5). jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609601 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609601 Martin Luther King Jr. makes an allusion to Socrates and his form of thinking and justifying himself. His intentions in doing so are to make the need for nonviolence clear. jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609604 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609604 Martin Luther King Jr. uses two metaphors here...he compares the racial prejudice to a "dark cloud" and he compares the misunderstanding from the communities to a "deep fog". jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609606 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609606 King references the Supreme Court case, Brown v The Board of Education, which caused to outlaw segregation in public schools. He uses this example to contradict the assumptions of the aggressors. jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609608 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609608 jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609611 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609611 jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609613 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609613 jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609614 2020-10-08 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609614 NAMES: jjohnson3915 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/814609615 JA'SHELLE JOHNSON

This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court’s decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws" (12). klopez5220 https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/818970419 2020-10-10 22:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohnson3915/2vtsdftizbtczixg/wish/818970419
