Here are three potential discussion questions on Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail":
1. In the letter, King argues that people have a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. Do you agree? Are there situations where civil disobedience is justified?
2. King describes the difference between just and unjust laws. How does he define these terms? Do you think his definitions are clear and useful?
3. King's letter addresses both white moderates and African Americans. How does his message to each group differ? What is he urging them to do, and why?
