In the context of King's letter, the word "quicksand" has a negative connotation, suggesting instability and stymied progress. King is using the word as a metaphor to represent the state of racial inequality and injustice in America at the time. King wrote this from jail in 1963 in response to a letter that was published in Alabama newspapers by white clergy urging blacks not to get involved in King's demonstrations.
