“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, “Letter from Birmingham Jail”

The main sentiment Dr. King was expressing – – through about 7,000 words – – was a response to group of local clergy whom didn’t support the Birmingham Campaign. In the letter, Dr. King would state quote ‘For years now, I have heard the word WAIT. This WAIT has almost always meant NEVER.’ end quote”
