Martin Luther King Journal

What is the big deal about Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter from his jail cell? The truth is, it is amazing how one man can write such a profound and inspiring letter that so many people can relate with. King talks about how "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." These concepts are simple yet very bold and have an impact on every person alive. Not only do these concepts affect the black community any more, but rather any person who feels inferior to anyone else; one who is suppressed by words, actions, or thoughts. So the big deal is that King has written us a piece of his history that nobody can refute and everyone has to accept and make a difference. These thoughts of injustice and segregation are as present today as they were in his time, but the difference is is that King had the courage to come out ant make his thoughts and feelings heard for the betterment of all people.
