[bells tolling] >> my dear fellow clergyman. while confined here in the camengham city jail, i across your recent -- your recent statement calling my present activities unwise and untimely. that you are a man of genuine goodwill and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, i want to try to answer your statement in what i hope will be patient and reasonable terms. you deplore the demonstrations taking place in birmingham. with your statement, -- but your statement, i am sorry to say, fail to express a similar concern for the that brought about the demonstrations. birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the united states. it's ugly record of brutality is widely known. there have been more unsolved bombings of negro homes and churches in birmingham than in any other city in the nation. these are the hard, brutal facts of the case. you may well ask him a wide direct action? why citians? , and soitins, marches forth? isn't negotiation a better path? nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and force -- foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate .s forced to confront the issue you speak of our activity in birmingham as extreme. it was not jesus an extremist for love -- love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to those who hate you and pray for them what to do spitefully use you and persecute you?

i have no despair about the future. i have no fear about the outcome of our struggle in birmingham, even if our motives are at present misunderstood. we will reach the goal of freedom in birmingham and all over the nation because the goal of america is read him -- of freedom. we will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of the almighty god are embodied in our at going demands. ♪ i'm walking down that freedom talking down that freedom walking down that freedom ain't gonna let nobody step over me they can't step on me ♪ >> we have asked for four things, and we are still holding out for all four. desegregation of all facilities and the stores, this includes restaurant facilities, lunch counters, and fitting rooms. number two, upgrading employment in the stores so you have negro clerks and negro sales men and women. number three, the dropping of all of the charges against the persons who have been unjustly arrested for engaging in these peaceful nonviolent demonstrations on the basis of the first and 14th amendments of the constitution. four, 5 -- i mean, number a biracial committee to deal with the other problems of segregation that will exist and the setting of a timetable to solve the problems such as school desegregation, the reopening of the parks on an integrated basis, and compliance with the federal court order. and a fair hiring policy in the municipal agencies. this would also include negro policeman. -- if you dover not keep you and them separate. you got to keep the white and the black separate. law enforcement agencies, that is what you have to hire for. the governor of the state of alabama. george asked me -- >> to this is bull connor. >> tell your friends when you leave here -- leave it alone. they are going to handle this situation. just leave it alone. you know?
