When you are denied your rights and your physical freedom, what do you have left but words? Written in the midst of a civil rights protest in Birmingham, Alabama, in the mid-1950s, “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s eloquent argument for the end of racial segregation in the United States. King uses emotional, logical, and rhetorical appeals to craft a deeply moving and persuasive argument.
Students will be able to analyze an argument and evaluate the elements that make it effective and memorable.
