Civil Rights Action Plan
Introduction
Discrimination and segregation are a social injustice that ought to come to an end here in Birmingham. The way in which the African Americans and the Asians are treated has never been friendly, thus calling for necessary action to be taken. My main reason for the action plan is to make sure that social injustices come to an end and the entire society embrace the art of tolerance to each other or have the other side of the coin from the oppressed groups. I find it unreasonable to have this situation while the colonial period ended a long time ago. The action plan that I am spearheading is aimed at fighting for the rights of all the residents of Birmingham regardless of the race, color and religious differences.
The Condition in Birmingham
The institutions in Alabama should be at the forefront of creating universality among the students hence enlightening the society about equality and fair treatment. However, because of the discrimination on races, there is segregation too in these schools just as seen in the buses and the schools at large. Some of the things that are horrifying in Birmingham include the disrespect that exists among the Black Americans. They are all referred to as “Niggas” to imply that all Negros need not even to be identified by names but by general name as niggas. There is also unfair treatment in the accessibility of shopping centers where many posters are having images of colored people are seen indicating that they are not allowed for the blacks but purely for the Native Americans (Henson and Munsey 998-1019).

Besides, some buses do not carry blacks as they are meant for the whites alone.
Action Plan
There is a need to take direct action to awaken the sleeping leaders so that they can address the problems facing the people of Alabama. There will be constant peaceful protests especially on busy roads and shopping centers so that everything can come to stand still for the proprietors to feel the Impact. In fact, Martin Luther once said in his letter to Birmingham that, “whatever affects one directly affect all indirectly.” The phrase indicates that when one of our people is subjected to injustice, we are all affected either directly or indirectly since we are brothers and equal before God (King, N.p).
Most of the low paying jobs in this state are done by the Blacks. It is the best opportunity to punish those who fail to see humanity side of their behaviors. We should all boycott from attending to the duties and even fail to report at such workplace so that our rights can be heard. If everything comes to a halt, I am sure this governor who claims to have no business with the security of the Blacks will understand the importance of brotherhood. The economic growth will depreciate, and those who feel to be superior will realize the importance of our efforts.
Luther once through his letter insisted that “We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that “justice too long delayed is justice denied” (King, N.p). Therefore we can attain the respect and the justice that we desire through sit-ins that have never been seen in the past. We should march to the governor’s office and occupy the compound until our demands are addressed since the patience has run out after our people were taken for granted by the leaders of this region.
Civil Rights Leader quotations
Martin Luther King was an activist who wrote mobilized people to fight for their rights. He always had hope that a new era would come if every individual would be ready to take action in fighting for their rights, especially for the Negros. He even went ahead to indicate that “whatever affects one directly affect all indirectly” trying to notify that it in a collective responsibility for every person to take action to attain their desired destiny as far as justice and freedom is concerned.
Conclusion
I am much convinced that civil right action is the only way that will result to a new Birmingham that will accommodate the rights and needs of all people. It is always evident that if diplomacy fails, force sometimes works better. Therefore, we can risk losing some of our lives as we break the law but ensure that we secure the future for our generation so that such treatment of segregation and injustices come to an end for good.
