One example of extended metaphor is:
"It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city’s white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative."
Structures in buildings supply strength and durability. In this case, King is speaking metaphorically about America's social systems.
