An example of why Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great man...

This letter, written from a jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama is perhaps one of the greatest documents to ever be written. For those of you who wonder why the United States has a federal holiday on the birthday of this man, read this letter. It will make you understand. It is a long letter and worth being read. One of my favorite sections deals with MLK responding to critics about the willingness of he and his followers to break laws..."One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all"". If you are American, you have the day off to celebrate this man, honor his memory and arouse your spirit by reading this letter.
