Answer:

Letter from a Birmingham Jail by Dr. King largely shaped Birmingham into a just society. King reminds people that direct action, sit-ins, and marches when done peacefully speak louder to the injustices that were occurring throughout the United States during the civil rights movement. The letter draws attention to everyone who has seen the evils of racism and has opted to do nothing. According to Dr. King, "Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which was constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks to dramatize the issue that it can longer be ignored."
