Many forget that he was first, a Christian Southern Baptist minister and preacher. His religious faith informed his ethical actions. After reading selections from Martin Luther King, Jr's, Letters from the Birmingham Jail, on the internet, explore the role of Christian ethics in King's actions during the turbulent times in the South in the 1960s.
