The Negro Is Your Brother, Martin Luther King, Jr.
[in]
The Atlantic Monthly - August 1963
Very early print appearance of King's The Negro Is Your Brother, better known as Letter from Birmingham Jail, a foundational text of the Civil Rights Movement in which King famously declared that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." The letter was originally published by the American Friends Service Committee in May 1963 and subsequently in the June 1963 issue of Liberation, the June 12, 1963, edition of The Christian Century, and the June 24, 1963, edition of The New Leader. The letter gained more popularity as summer went on, and was reprinted in the July 1963 edition of The Progressive under the headline "Tears of Love" and here, in the the August 1963 edition of The Atlantic Monthly under the headline "The Negro Is Your Brother."
