Argument analysis

Numerous writings had already been written advocating that freedom belongs to all men and women , but only few were able to reflect the true state of racial injustices the oppressed are experiencing and its effects to the people . Only few were able to serve as catalysts for a peaceful revolution for the purpose of conferring freedom to the exploited race . One of these is the Letter from Birmingham Jail . Written by Dr . Martin Luther King , it provided categorical answers to the questions and criticisms thrown at him by his fellow clergymen due to

br his leadership of the nonviolent direct actions against racism

The Letter from Birmingham Jail afforded a clear and concise view of the different aspects of racism towards the African-American people . It presented the reality , without biases , as to how the Negro people suffered under the clutches of racial discrimination . It offered an alternative solution to end the racial inferiority concept

The letter was written when Dr . Martin Luther King was imprisoned in Birmingham Jail thus , I can easily see the author 's courage that despite the loneliness of incarceration , he still managed to continue the black man 's cause for emancipation from racist prejudices .

Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds Hence , I feel that racism has no place in a united and progressive nation . Racial discrimination only leads to the corrosion of the foundation and structure that make the United States of America great

I find that there is truth in the writer 's statement that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor it must be demanded by the oppressed ' I can say that racism is a euphemism for dictatorship . As what history is telling us , persons in authority find it hard to relinquish their position and tend to be corrupted by power itself . This creates a state of dictatorship wherein the freedom of the people is greatly limited

Enumerating the four basic steps of a non-violent campaign , Dr . Martin Luther King was able to provide guidelines to engage the public and let them know the plight of the African-American race in a non-violent way
