The White Ministers' Anti-Violence Statement, September 7, 1963. 520 $a "Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'Letter from Birmingham Jail' is arguably the most important written document of the civil rights protest era and a widely read modern literary classic. Personally addressed to eight white Birmingham clergymen who sought to avoid violence by publicly discouraging King's civil rights demonstrations in Birmingham, the nationally published 'Letter' captured the essence of the struggle for racial equality and provided a blistering critique of the gradualist approach to racial justice. It soon became part of American folklore, and the image of King penning his epistle from a prison cell remains among the most moving of the era. Yet as S. Jonathan Bass explains in the first comprehensive history of King's 'Letter,' this image and the piece's literary appeal conceal a much more complex tale. This updated edition of Blessed Are the Peacemakers includes a new foreword by Paul Harvey, a new afterword by James C. Cobb, and a new epilogue by the author"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a King, Martin Luther, $c Jr., $d 1929-1968. $t Letter from Birmingham Jail. 630 07 $a Letter from Birmingham Jail (King, Martin Luther, Jr.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01937969 650 0 $a Civil disobedience $z Birmingham $z Birmingham $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z Birmingham $z Birmingham $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Birmingham $z Birmingham $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Clergy $x History $z Birmingham $z Birmingham $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Clergy $z Birmingham $z Birmingham $v Biography. 651 0 $a Birmingham (Ala.) $x Race relations. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 $a Civil disobedience. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862481 650 7 $a Civil rights movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862708 650 7 $a Clergy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864014 650 7 $a Clergy $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864066 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a Alabama $z Birmingham. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204958 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Cobb, James C. $q (James Charles), $d 1947- $e writer of afterword. 700 12 $a King, Martin Luther, $c Jr., $d 1929-1968. $t Letter from Birmingham Jail. 700 1 $a Aurandt, Paul, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Cobb, James C., $e writer of afterword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bass, S.
