Compare and Contrast Martin Luther Kings Letter from a Birmingham Jail to James Baldwins Letter to his Nephew in terms of the intended audience, assessments of the problem of white supremacy, and methods suggested from change. How and why does Dr. King insist that non-violent direct action is one of the strategies that blacks and their allies should use? Compare his discussion of black peoples interest in the Nation of Islam and other movements with Baldwins insights and your textbook. What was the role of women, youth, and northern urban dwellers in the black freedom struggle? How did each book anticipate or fail to factor changes in the strategies and scope of the Civil Rights/Black Power Movement after 1963 in the years from 1964-1975?
