Story
On April 16, 1963, as the violent events of the Birmingham campaign unfolded in the city's streets, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., composed a letter from his prison cell in response to local religious leaders' criticism of the campaign. The resulting piece of extraordinary protest writing, "Letter from Birmingham Jail", was widely circulated and published in numerous periodicals. After the conclusion of the campaign and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, King further developed the ideas introduced in the letter in Why We Can't Wait.

A Grounding Must-Read

This is at least the second time that I read this book. I read it because of the upheaval of 2020. Re-reading it reminded me of the timeless, profound insights of Dr. MLK, Jr. All of us have to realize that the movement has been going on for hundreds of years for Indigenous, Black, and Latinx people in this land. MLK, Jr. argues for the urgency of the moment, but I say the urgency has always been there.

The headline is my review. We have lost our “why”. We are still in the split. Some of us are evangelical about the “why.” One day, we will be in leadership and return us to why we do what we do at a CSU.
