Notes
Headmaster Tad Roach discusses and widely quotes Reverend King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail. This talk explores the circumstances surrounding King's letter, "a document that speaks eloquently to the past, present and future of race relations in America." Marshall Frady, King's biographer is also quoted.
"We, in 2004, need to remember that segregation was a deliberate philosophy, practice andsystem designed to undermine and subvert the promise and idealism associated with the abolition of slavery in America. Segregation and its attendant horrors were white America’sresponse to the idea of racial justice and equality."
