MLK: Letter form Birmingham Jail

"So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be." (9th paragraph of letter)

Before stating this, King, Jr. writes many diverse figures and claims that they were as much of extremists as he was. Every person he mentions is an extremist in a different aspect. If a person is an extremist, that is not the problem. However if this extremity is taken too far, then it does become a problem. He says later on that the world needs 'creative extremists'.
