Whats the Point?

Dr. King makes a very strong point in his letter. He points out the obvious flaws in Southern society at this time and conveys all of his points in a very logical way. He displays all of the evidence behind the direct actions that the African American population was taking at this time in Birmingham and pretty much makes the clergy men look like complete fools. Every point he states has reasoning behind it, showing how much thought has gone into the entire Civil rights movement. He was really trying to show the clergymen and anyone that read this letter, that he was complete correct in what he was doing. He made anyone who supported segregation seem like a bad person and called for people to finally realize that it had to end. Finally, this letter summed up everything that any person needed to know about the entire movement and provide them with information so they could support it. I would have to say that anyone who read this and was not it agreement with Dr. King afterwards was quite the stubborn person.
