King held that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere", hence the need to ensure

that people are concerned about the injustice that is taking place against others (King, 1963).
King seeks to ensure that there is a comprehension that what affects a person directly could
affect another indirectly. Therefore, in this case, King wants the readers to understand that the
injustice against the black community should not be ignored.

King addresses the fact that there is a bridge between inequality and injustice. In this discussion,
I can relate to the notions raised when addressing the concept of segregation, which was a denial
of basic human rights privileges. Nonetheless, I can attest that King's efforts were eventually
successful, considering the emergence of laws such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Civil Rights
Act, 1964). In this legislation, there was an achievement of justice which King was seeking
through the prohibition of racial segregation and other forms of discrimination. Therefore,
leading to the gradual achievement of equality.

Nonetheless, one cannot ignore the fact that the efforts being made by King were a successful
approach because they led to the achievement of equality. Hence, this demonstrates that the call
to action approach that King was seeking indicated a reasonable effort in the achievement of
injustice. He implemented the rhetorical strategy that was being implemented, the ethos.
Whereby King wanted people to understand that there was unethicality in denying justice.
Through this approach, King managed to break the prevalence of the white power structure,
which was propagating segregation against the back community which was nothing short of
unethical.

However, King's actions were not by chance; he created a roadmap to the achievement of justice
when existing in an unjust world, beginning with the determination of whether "injustice is alive,
negotiation, self-purification and direct action" (King, 1963). One would argue that the approach
establishes a problem before any action can be taken, which shows logic in addressing the issue.
In this case, King demonstrated that racial inequality is prevalent in Birmingham, which
demonstrates itself in the form of police brutality, unjust treatment of black people in court and
unsolved cases of arson against black homes. Hence, I can attest that when showing the people
the problem and the significant nature of its brutality, there is an insight into immorality. Further,
I would argue that people could relate to the notion that if this level of brutality can happen to a
human being, then it is not unfathomable that the same injustice could occur to anyone, which
demonstrates pathos. King reached the ethics and emotions of the people with his words in the
Birmingham letter.
