LETTERS FROM BIRMINGHAM JAIL 1.

Other clergymen consider Kings activities to be unwise and untimely because they consider him to be an outsider. His activities are considered untimely because they coincide with demonstrations taking place. 2. King presents that he is heavily involved in religious organizations within Alabama. His presence in Birmingham is wise and timely because he promised to be there when the time called for it. 3. Kings assumptions on law are: a. Just laws: . . . One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. . . b. Unjust laws: . . . Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all. . . 4. Kings letter is not only addressed to the clergymen, but to the peoples who listen to these clergymen. Ministers are voicing their opinions of King onto churchgoers. While they be men of genuine good will, they are propagating a message of hate and ill-advised criticism. 5. King professes that he is a nonviolent person. He is taking the proper course of action that will be noticed.
