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 clergy 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.
