Brittny Gross: MLK's Point

I feel that the main point of "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" is that the church has a responsibility to uphold peace without violence. And by legalizing and justifying unjust laws they were only making things worse. I think that he felt that the clergymen, as men of God, were responsible for making the white politicians negotiate before the crisis ended violently. I think he succeeded in making this point mainly because his argument is airtight. He's covered every possible argument or rebuttal.
