Answer: A. To show the clergy that the demonstrators, and not the police, are the real heroes of the fight for civil rights
Explanation:
On April 16th 1963 Martin Luther King wrote a letter from his prison cell to his fellow clergymen who had criticized his actions and said that he and his fellow demonstrators must do so legally.
In the letter he decried their avoidance of the main issues and explained why they were forced to use direct actions. He then tells them that one day the South will recognize its true heroes to be the demonstrators who in taking a stand for human rights, restored the American dream and did what was best for a country built on Christian values.
