I hope you are all having a wonderful day. As we approach Spring Break I thought it would be best to reflect on Dr. Kings work while in prison.
Dr. King was in prison over Easter break in Birmingham, Alabama.
Below is your homework for the week.
Tuesday: Today you were asked to write a letter requesting change. What does the quote below mean to you?
"Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever."
Wednesday: Listen to the NPR podcast.
Does this follow Dr. King's message of nonviolence?
Thursday: Respond to the quote below.
"I began thinking about the fact that I stand in the middle of two opposing forces in the Negro community. One is a force of complacency, made up in part of Negroes who, as a result of long years of oppression, are so drained of self respect and a sense of "somebodiness" that they have adjusted to segregation."
Friday: Respond to the quote below
"… one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.
I would agree with Augustine that “An unjust law is no law at all.”
