The City of Elk Grove’s Multicultural Committee will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail on Tuesday, April 16.
The
influential essay articulates the principle that "injustice anywhere is
a threat to justice everywhere,” and is a powerful reminder of how the
struggle for civil rights had its start.
