The Declaration of Independence contains a very significant assertion, which isthat all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. The founding document of America contains a statement which perfectly expresses the central concept of the Civil Rights Movement, and thereby legitimizes it. Of course, if we were to make such a statement today, in the 21st century, we would update it to say that all people are created equal, rather than just all men. Women also matter.
The Declaration of Independence.
Martin Luther King used it.
In his "Letter from Birmingham Jail," Martin Luther King Jr. quotes President Abraham Lincoln and President Thomas Jefferson. He references Lincoln to highlight the commitment to equality and justice inherent in the American tradition, particularly as it relates to the Emancipation Proclamation. He cites Jefferson to emphasize the foundational principle of equality stated in the Declaration of Independence, reinforcing his argument that civil rights are an essential part of American democracy and should be upheld for all citizens.
