In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King, Jr. specifically addresses the role of the church in the struggle for civil rights and justice. In this session, we’ll examine the prophetic language and Biblical references in this powerful historical document to gain a better understanding of our past, and, hopefully, position ourselves to have more impact today. Though not necessary, it would be helpful to read the letter carefully before class. It can be found at: http://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/documents/Letter_Birmingham_Jail.pdf
