Using the Bible to Attack Racism and Justify Non-Violent Protest

Martin Luther King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail is an amazing example of a man using the Bible to point out racism and justify protest against grossly unjust policies.  If you haven't ever read through this, perhaps today is good day to.  I find it his most inspiring work.  Although not all of King's Theology can I agree with-his way of using the Bible to help stop social injustice is excellent in this document.
