Letters From Birmingham

3. Ethos-

"While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely."

"I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia."

Pathos-

"But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will 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."

"A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God."

Logos-“But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here.”
