MLK's letter

Martin Luther King, Jr. attempts to convince the white religious leaders which he is addressing of his particular standpoint. Through a logical approach, MLK gets his message across in a powerful and fact-based manner. With a clear statement he gives example of how prophets and many other people struggled and fought for freedom, when they needed to. He speaks in an ethical and calm manner. This way, he does not give others the chance to get mad, nor does he himself get increasingly outraged while he writes.He sent message to white leader and other American that  injustice is proven, recognized, and undeniable, and an indirect message is sent to those who are being addressed that Dr. King and the African American community will not take this injustice much longer. What makes this letter so powerful is that Dr. King manages to separate his emotions of outrage or anger, which other civil rights leaders such as Malcolm X may have had, from getting in the way of his strong and logical arguments. He argues that the African American community should be able to protest and demonstrate for the sake of their rights if they see that this will help them step closer to getting rid of all the injustice in their lives and communities.
