3. Summarize the following passage in 25-50 words:

From Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”:
“In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine
whether injustices exist; negotiation; self purification; and direct action. We have gone through
all these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying the fact that racial injustice engulfs
this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United
States. Its ugly record of brutality is widely known. Negroes have experienced grossly unjust
treatment in the courts. There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches
in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation. These are the hard, brutal facts of the case. On
the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the latter
consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation” (King, 1963, para. 6).

4. Write a paragraph interpreting the meaning of the passage taken from Martin Luther King Jr.’s
