Rereading “Letter from Birmingham Jail”
<p>He explains that the SCLC chapter in Birmingham asked him to come, “So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here. I am here because I have organizational ties here.”</p>
<p>Dr. King’s educated and authoritative tone sends a message. And he mentions more than once that he’s come with his staff. The subtext I hear is that he isn’t someone who can be pushed around. He’s important. He’s somebody. He knows what he’s talking about. And those white pastors better brush up if they want to take him on.</p>
