Birmingham Jail

They say why are we using direct action? For example instead of marches or sit ins, wouldn't negotiation be a better option? But King Jr says that although his making of tension is part of his way of making the community whose completely avoided the issue to finally "negotiate."

They ask " Why didn't you give the new city administration time to act?" While the king says the mayor is just as much of a segregationists who is dedicated to keeping the power of the status Que.

They say that the activitys in Birminingham are too extreme and are those of outsiders trying to break the status quoe. While the king argues that,  it's sad that the white community left the negros no other option.

They say that "outsiders" are coming in while Martin is just stating that there is so much injustice here, that there is no other option but to take action. Although it is sad that the only way to get the communtiys attention is by somewhat exteme actions.

While Martin's overall goal is to create a world for generations to come where his children are equal to everyone no matter the skin color, the whites argue and fight for the status quoe to stay the same.
