This MLK Day, TANK invites you to join us for a reading of one of the most searing and timeless documents of the civil rights movement. Letter from Birmingham Jail is not a polite plea—it is a direct challenge to complacency, a reminder that justice delayed is justice denied, and a call to confront the moral demands of our moment with honesty and courage.
Local readers from across North Kingstown will give voice to Dr. King’s words—words written in the confines of a jail cell, yet filled with an unshakable conviction that unjust structures can, and must, be changed.
This gathering is not simply a commemoration; it is an invitation to look squarely at the injustices that persist today and to consider our own role in either maintaining or dismantling them.
