“Letter from a Birmingham Jail”

While I was reading the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” I visualized so much emotion that he was feeling during this time. Even though this letter was written over 50 years ago it still has an impact on the world today. Civil Rights had a lot of involvement in the negro leadership. People were affected by this all over the nation near and far. Dr. King served as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Freedom and speeches about negro rights is what lead Dr. King to Birmingham, Alabama. During this time so much unfairness was witness even in jail. Expressions of unfairness against the negro population was indentified mostly through segregation and not being allowed to do things equally as the white race. So many times people cried out for help from so many organizations in which some were limited to the capabilities they could do to reach out to help. Many struggled with the right to vote and access to the any form of way that wasn’t presentable to the white race. Rosa Parks had a place in this movement in which she fought to ride in the front in the bus due to the fact that blacks were only allowed to sit in the back. The city of Birmingham was filled with so much structure of white power that left the negro community with less hope of no alternative. The movement of Human Rights were set aside with so many experiences, hopes and dreams for better. So much disappointment settled upon the communities and most were given up on their fight for their rights. To actually reach out to someone during this time seemed to impossible and it became no longer a fight but failure. People would continue to gather and march still hanging on to hope that someone would hear their cry for a better tomorrow. “Wait” was all they were told and as time passed the negro community felt like things would never change . It’s been spoken by Dr. King himself that his voice would be heard. Negro men and women stood by Dr. King during this era. They believed America has its destiny and trust in God for someone with a noble heart would soon break chains and let their freedom ring. To imagine the impact this has on some many people seem to be unbearable. Hope and dreams of people who really just wanna be heard and those who are not listening to community. Touching as it is I can only yet to imagine the way they felt but I couldn’t say I understood there feeling truthfully. As we how times have changed it actually a blessing to be able to have shared this story with the world. Many can follow through Civil Rights
