Answer 1

In paragraph 8 of “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Martin Luther King Jr. proposed that they prepare for direct action. He supported this effort by holding workshops that supported nonviolence and self- purification. Dr. King states, "whereby we would present our very bodies as a means of laying our case before the conscience of the local and the national community". He also recommended that this occur during the Easter season with the reasoning that this time period was second only to Christmas in connection with individuals spending money.

Answer 2

Letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

He resolved to take direct action by resorting to public sit-ins and marches. He and his followers decide to march and do public sit ins. They would have done them during the easter time because tons of people would be around to listen, but an important election was before easter so they postponed the marches and sit ins until later that way the person they wanted to win wouldn't be hated on by MLKJ haters!!
