blog #6 DR. king

There were many kinds of injustice that martin Luther king found in the city of Birmingham. From most of the history books and as it is been common knowledge to most of the people in the Unite State; that Alabama was one of the worst states in racism and government discriminations against Africans Americans before the civil rights movement. Moreover the city was going through a huge segregation between black and white as DR. King described “Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the Unite State” (King 175). From those issues if any person took segregation be itself it will be a huge problem and people should fight against it. But that was not the only problem at that time; Africans Americans were suffering from gross unfair treatment in court and on all other public place. Also as it was indicated in the letter that there were bombing in some of the homes of the Africans Americans that have not look at from the city government on Birmingham. Furthermore there were a lot of stores that had racial signs on there doors and the government did not bother to ask those businesses to remove the signs. Therefore DR. King had to face these unfair treatments on a peaceful way, smart way that will give them all there rights without any civil war or violence. But this fight it was not simple because for most parts the Africans Americans were suffering from discriminations that are based on the law of the land.
