Summary of Martin Luther King message from jail

History
1 answer:
postnew [5]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Dr. Martin Luther King junior wrote the Letter from the Birmingham Jail in 1963, in response to white clergymen who had criticized his views and his activism as extremist.

Explanation:

MLK wrote an impassioned response to the clergy who were criticizing his activism at the time. The white clergy felt it was better for black Americans to just accept the status quo and to stop pressing for change. The clergy called MLK's actions "unwise and untimely." He first tries to counter the notion that his position is extreme in the letter by describing black nationalism and some of the extreme propositions of that movement and he also contrasts his perspective from being passive and accepting of the status quo. He has dedicated himself to trying to advance constructive change using non-violence. But as he develops his letter he starts to embrace the notion of being called an extremist because it may be necessary to take an extreme position in order to advance real change.  Since MLK was a church leader and he is addressing the critique of fellow clergymen, there are a lot of religious examples used in the letter.

Explain Gies’ motivation for helping Jewish families during the war.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

According to Gies, the motivation was simply the fact that she wanted to help and she would have felt regret, if she let innocent people die.

Explanation:

Till the end of her life, Gies, never considered herself a hero. She explained that it was human nature to help someone and clearly stated, that by calling her actions 'brave' or 'heroic' would put on her on a pedestal, and demotivate other people to act out kindly when needed.

Gies was Dutch and had worked with Jewish people before. She felt empathy and always thought her actions were natural, human and not at all special.
