“You deplore the demonstrations taking place , , ,  but your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.  

I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes."  ~ the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.​  "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" (1963)

“We have not made a single gain in civil rights without determined ... nonviolent pressure.  It is a historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily.”   ~ the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.​  "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" (1963)

Artist creates "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" memes to stop people from whitewashing MLK

One graphic designer is taking a stand during Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Artist Daniel Rarela designed a series of memes to stop the late civil rights leader from getting whitewashed this year.

On Sunday, Rarela took to Twitter to share black and white images — old and new — with quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. However, Rarela didn't pull quotes from King's Aug. 28, 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech. Instead, his images contain lines from King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," which was written on April 16, 1963.
