This is a thorough and wonderfully readable analysis of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” including the context of events leading to the letter and its aftermath. The Letter was never included in curriculum for my high school or college classes, so although I am familiar with some of its most famous passages (“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” for example), I have never studied it. I was personally convicted reading Dr. King's message for myself, especially because of his focus on the Christian beliefs I share.
