About Very Good.</p><p>The second printing of this edition issued in June 1963 and with the corresponding notation printed on back cover "No. 589A -- 30M -- 6-63 -- G.B. / First Printed 5-63 -- 50M"; this edition known as the first separate edition was preceded by the much scarcer mimeographed edition.</p><p>Written in April 1963 while King was incarcerated and in solitary confinement for leading nonviolent protests in Birmingham against the city's segregationist policies the letter quickly became a major text of the Civil Rights movement. It refutes the position of eight of the city's white clergymen who together penned an open letter published in the local newspaper titled "A Call for Unity" in which they argued that Civil Rights activists should cease their "unwise and untimely" demonstrations and instead seek to achieve their aims through negotation and the courts. In his response King immediately addresses these arguments in his letter including his role as a perceived "outside agitator" and lays out the four steps of nonviolent campaigns. As he notes in now famous words "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable netword of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly I have never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was 'well timed' according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word 'Wait!' It rings in the ear of every Negro with a piercing familiarity. This 'wait' has almost always meant 'never.'"</p><p>A seminal text of the Civil Rights movement that remains important today.</p> American Friends Service Committee

196310908Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1963. Third printing. The third printing of this seminal text of the civil rights movement: an open letter penned by Martin Luther King Jr. to a group of white clergymen from solitary confinement in a Birmingham Alabama jail. King was arrested on Good Friday 1963 for his participation in a campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience against Alabama’s segregationist policies. Contrary to popular belief King did not write the published letter but continued to edit and revise it along with other SCLC staffers after his release.

The American Friends Service Committee received permission from the SCLC to publish it as a pamphlet and 50000 copies were published in May 1963. This third printing was published the following month in an edition of 30000 copies with two more printings to follow.<br /> <br /> Stapled wrappers 9†x 6†16 p. A fine copy.
