Martin Luther King Jr. embraced the label of "extremist" because he believed that true justice and moral righteousness often require radical action and unwavering commitment. In his "Letter from Birmingham Jail," he argued that nonviolent resistance to injustice is a form of extremism that aligns with the values of love and justice. By accepting this label, he aimed to reframe the narrative around extremism, positioning it as a necessary response to the systemic oppression faced by African Americans. Ultimately, King sought to inspire others to take a stand against injustice, even when it meant being labeled as extreme.
