Over Thanksgiving break I attended The St. Louis Art Museum‚ or SLAM‚ as it is affectionately known by the locals.

What Happened To “All Men Are Created Equal”? Both Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and the essay “In the Kitchen” by Henry Louis Gates help give readers an image of life in America as outsiders‚ as minorities‚ as black. In the letter that Martin Luther King writes to the clergymen from the Birmingham Jail‚ he begins by calling them “men of genuine good will‚” and claims that he knows their “criticisms are sincerely set forth.” Dr. King tries to remain polite but an undertone
