MLK, The Biggest Deal

What is the big deal on the letter from the Birmingham jail? The big deal on the document created by one of the greatest men of all time is the fact that it is so organized, so well written, so well thought out, and that it was written in a jail. The simple fact that Martin Luther King Jr. was able to stand up for what he believed in shows so much about the mark he left in the United States of America, the revolutionizing mark that he left in our world. He is the reason why the United States has relatively become an ideal place for most everyone in the world to live in, in that he brought people of many differences together: differences in color, thoughts, culture, location, etc. He changed the way so many people look at the world around them, and it is the reason why the United States functions so much better. He brought equal rights to everyone, and put an end to growing hatred and racism, an end so necessary for the growth and well-being of the citizens of the United States and, therefore, the well being of the actual country itself. Martin Luther King Jr. stood against so much hatred, and peacefully and intellectually fought it to the end.
