Final answer:

Dr. King's 'Letter from a Birmingham Jail' does not address tyranny from dictators, which was one of the ideas mentioned in Roosevelt's speech.

Step-by-step explanation:

President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 address to Congress, famously known as the Four Freedoms speech, outlined fundamental freedoms including freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear, which underpin a civilized society. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from a Birmingham Jail addresses several issues related to civil rights and justice. Among the concepts discussed by Roosevelt, the idea that is NOT addressed in Dr. King's letter is (A) tyranny from dictators. Dr. King's letter does touch on the concepts of (B) physical aggression against any neighbor in the context of nonviolent protest against segregation, (C) peaceful revolution as a strategy for civil rights activism, and (D) the importance of working together in a civilized society to resolve racial injustice.
