Martin Luther King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail

Birmingham was the segregated city in the United States. Martin Luther King held a parade without a permit, and got arrested. People have the obligation to follow the justice law but also has the right to against the unjust law. He supported the nonviolent protest.
Blacks and whites are all human being and should treated equal according what Bible said; but why whites treated blacks so bad. Martin Luther King used the point of view from the blacks and wrote this letter to speak out his mind.
The story that Martin Luther King used as a example of segregation which is a strong persuasion. The black kid wanted to go to the amusement park, but the parents only can said it's closed for colored people. The black kid also asked,"Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?" How cruel is this for a child that they can't pursue what they want!
I agree that Martin Luther King took the nonviolent action to against the segregation. If the black people still not took the action, the white people would still oppressed them.
