This lesson examines the power of nonviolent direct actions as an instrument to change unjust laws. Focusing on King's Letter from Birmingham Jail, students examine King's nonviolence ideology and tactics.
King often spoke of the inherent role of love and faith within the movement for justice. Why did King believe love was at the center of the struggle for justice?
Why did King make the choice to speak out against United States involvement in Vietnam when he risked doing harm to his status as a civil rights leader, as well as harming the movement itself?
