Gospel of freedom: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s letter from Birmingham Jail and the struggle that changed a nation

Introduction : The cry for justice

The prelude. Prisoner: This is blasphemy ; Not enough Negroes are ready to die in Birmingham ; Traitors to their race ; Meet me in Galilee

The letter. Diplomat: My dear fellow clergymen ; The word "wait" rings in the ear of every Negro ; Everything the Nazis did was legal

Prophet: I am an extremist ; What kind of people worship here? ; Abused and scorned though we may be

The aftermath. Street fighter: Now is the time ; A child shall lead them ; Free at last? ; What killed these four girls?

Epilogue : Words spoken to mankind
