Read the excerpt. I must close now. But before closing I am impelled to mention one other point in your statement that troubled

me profoundly. You warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping “order” and “preventing violence.” I don’t believe you would have so warmly commended the police force if you had seen its angry violent dogs literally biting six unarmed, nonviolent Negroes. I don’t believe you would so quickly commend the policemen if you would observe their ugly and inhuman treatment of Negroes here in the city jail; if you would watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls; if you would see them slap and kick old Negro men and young Negro boys; if you will observe them, as they did on two occasions, refuse to give us food because we wanted to sing our grace together. I’m sorry that I can’t join you in your praise for the police department. Based on this passage from “Letter from Birmingham City Jail” by Martin Luther King, Jr., who are the South’s “real heroes”?
the police dogs
the protesters
the police force

Answer:

Option B. Based on the passage from "Letter from Birmingham City Jail" the "real heroes of the South" are the protesters.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from "Letter from Birmingham City Jail" Martin Luther King Jr expressed his disappointment in clergy men commending the Birmingham police force for keeping "order" and "preventing violence", when in fact it was the police force who was being extremely violent against black people.  With his words, he is stating that the "real heroes" of the South, are not the police officers, but the protesters who were taking a stand against racism and injustice, in the form of nonviolent resistance.
