What case does he make against waiting? Is it persuasive? (Read discription)

Question

King’s letter is a response to white moderates asking him to give the City of Birmingham time to act rather than engaging in nonviolent resistance. What case does he make against waiting? Is it persuasive?

Answer 1

The Letter from a Birmingham Jail is one of the most famous argumentative essays in the US. Look for where he talks about how long African Americans had already waited, or the cosequences of their conditions. If you need help finding these passages, we could go through the Letter together in a video lesson.

You will have to say for yourself whether Dr. King persuaded you.
