Description:
Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee, 1963. Third printing. The third printing of this seminal text of the civil rights movement: an open letter penned by Martin Luther King, Jr. to a group of white clergymen from solitary confinement in a Birmingham, Alabama jail. King was arrested on Good Friday, 1963 for his participation in a campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience against Alabama's segregationist policies. Contrary to popular belief, King did not write the published letter , but continued to edit and revise it along with other SCLC staffers after his release. The SCLC hoped to have it published in the New York Times, but following leaked excerpts appearing elsewhere, the Times decided against publishing it. The American Friends Service Committee received permission from the SCLC to publish it as a pamphlet and 50,000 copies were published in May, 1963.

Description:
(Philadelphia): American Friends Service Committee, 1963. Second printing. Staplebound. Very good +. Octavo, 15pp. Second printing, noting just the first printing below the printing code on the verso. A very good or better copy in the publisher's stapled wraps. Some faint, but visible droplet stains to verso, and the original owner's surname in ink on the front wrap (with effaced 25-cent inked price barely noticeable immediately next to same). Else a crisp, clean, well-preserved example. This is the first separate publication of Martin Luther King's first major, comprehensive manifesto which explicitly called for the breaking of unjust laws and the the cost of silence and compromise. Penned in response to a letter signed by eight Birmingham-area clergymen urging King and his supporters to keep their protests to a minimum and strictly obey the law, King here uses, for the first time, phrases such as "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," and "justice too long delayed is justice… Read More
