Remarkable Leadership
What a powerful legacy. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a precious gem whose end came far too soon. He was truly a remarkable person that altered the course of history. He endured physical abuse, jail time and ultimately death in support of his vision: an America where people were judged by the content of their character instead of by the color of their skin. He proved it true that an intimate knowledge of the truth, however simple that truth may be, is the best defense against lies and propaganda.
MLK’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” is one of the most brilliantly crafted letters I’ve ever read. Seriously, it’s as close to perfect as a writer can ever expect. While behind bars, MLK is able to maintain his humility and methodically and graciously addresses the concerns of his opponents. It’s truly a remarkable work of advocacy. In the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. day, I’ve provided this letter below. Please download the pdf and take the time to read it. Enjoy and have a great day.
