20 Jan 2025

Description

On April 16th, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was placed in Birmingham City Jail for participating in nonviolent protests that were addressing the local government's deeply entrenched racist policies that singled out and segregated Black Americans. While in jail, Dr. King wrote a lengthy letter to Christian and Jewish leaders concerned about the wisdom of King's actions. In celebration of the legacy and achievements of Martin Luther King Jr., Colton provides a simple reading of King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" in its entirety.

(Micah 6:8)
