The King from Alabama
Dear Mr. President, I have tired to obliged to the standards of America. I have tried to honor its history. I have tried to be the best American I know how. But the scourge of injustice cannot stand any longer. The affliction of hatred on my people is fierce and agonizing. I have seen the injustice. I have seen the poverty. I have seen the misery. I cannot take it anymore. This is why I stand in prison today. I am in prison for standing for what's right. I am in prison for my faith. I am in prison for telling the truth. They called justice, putting innocent people into prison, tearing down their faith in American justice, and interrogating them at every chance. They called justice, lying about their means and disturbing their life with pain and struggles. They called justice, no power to the majority and best in the hand of the few. I cannot turn around. I cannot back down. I humbly asked for your support. I know you are a man of faith. I know you will keep your promise. You represented America. You represented freedom. You represented hope. You represented all the promises that America has told and now must fulfilled. Free me so I can do the good work and set right this injustice.
