Answer:

When Martin Luther King wrote the prison letter, he considered his target audience to be clergymen and friends Protestant ministers .

Step-by-step explanation:

Written on two days in a row, on the fringes of old newspapers found in racist jail because it was forbidden to access paper and to receive visitors, Dr. King wrote the Birmingham Chain Letter, a true manifesto. As Reverend of the Baptist Church, King addressed his letter to his fellow clergymen and friends protestant ministers who had criticized him for participating in acts of 'civil disobedience' against the laws of segregation of racial rights.
