• But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here.

• We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights.

• I have been arrested on a charge of parading without a permit. Now, there is nothing wrong in having an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade. But such an ordinance becomes unjust when it is used to maintain segregation and to deny citizens the First-Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and protest.
