Dear Dr. King,

In the famous “I Have a Dream” speech, you used a very strong language and attitude towards the people. I also noticed that in the following quote “Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums” (406), you used a bit of parallelism while delivering your speech. In your speech, you said a very powerful quote and it goes “There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights” (404), this quote I’m sure impacted many fellow Americans because nothing will be the same until Negroes got the equality that was granted.

In the “Letter to from Birmingham Jail” sent out as a response to a public statement, you Dr. King; possessed a much calmer attitude than the previous speech. It so happens that you offered a negotiation, “I therefore concur with you in your call for negotiation. Too long has our beloved South land been bogged down in a tragic effort to live in monologue rather than dialogue” (2). This showed the type of man you are, showing your will to negotiate and set peace for everyone was a very smart move considering the allegations they were accusing the jail and the people. I strongly agree with the way you wrote this letter and the way you expressed your thought on paper.
