Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was jailed many times as he worked toward Human and Civil Rights for African-Americans. While locked up in a segregated jail in the south, King penned "Letter from A Birmingham Jail" an open letter that served as a call to action for peaceful non-violence against racial oppression and unjust laws.
