Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King, Jr.
5.0
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
In April of 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. was imprisoned for protesting segregation in Birmingham, Alabama. While incarcerated, he wrote the famous and influential ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail.’ In this letter, Martin defends nonviolent action to protest unjust laws like segregation. This letter is heartbreaking but full of moving points. It’s a must-read for every American, especially when history is being told less and less truthfully.
“‘Well, aren’t you tired?’ She said, ‘Yes, my feets is tired, but my soul is rested.’”
The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life is a concept and speech by King. He believed to live a fulfilled life one had to encompass three dimensions: Length (personal development), Breadth (concern for others), and Height (spiritual connection.) I read this speech. Then, I listened to it. Martin’s speeches are commanding and it’s as if his voice pierces into your soul. I can’t recommend reading and listening more. You can find this speech on YouTube.
