Letter From Birmingham

After our look on Friday at the Sit-In movement and the children's marches in Birmingham, today we went over your responses to Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham City Jail in order to understand the blueprint for protest that he provides. We then discussed the impact of the Birmingham movement and the violent uprisings that followed as we watched the next part of the Birmingham video (through John Lewis' speech). This section also sets up your homework for tonight.
