I read this for the first time as a whole this past MLK Day. A few amazing things struck me: I love how Dr. King starts off and then ends with a whole bit about how he usually is too damn busy to deal with the haters, but since these haters put him in jail he has time to write a really long letter. He also acknowledges in fairly humorous way how long this letter is: "Never before have I written a letter this long -- or should I say a book? ". It is of no surprise to anyone but the writing is amazing; his parallelism is unparalleled. And of course so much of this letter is relevant in some very tragic ways. My favorite part was Dr. King's acceptance and owning of the "extremist" label, it is something that is very much lost in modern understanding of his character.
