Martin Luther King, Jr., was a civil rights leader known for non-violent protests.
He and his followers were jailed on Good Friday in Birmingham, Alabama for breaking the law against public demonstrations.
While he was in jail, a group of clergymen published a letter in the newspaper criticizing his presence and his strategies.
