One of Dr. King’s most famous writings, “Letter from Birmingham Jail” talks about why nonviolent resistance to racism is important. It emphasizes why direct action to break unjust laws is needed, rather than waiting for justice or equality to arrive.

Nonviolent resistance to unjust laws eventually influenced the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
