Question

read the excerpt from dr. martin luther kings \letter from birmingham jail.\
it is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the citys white power structure left the negro community with no alternative.
how does king support this claim?
○ by providing the names of corrupt public figures
○ by explaining birminghams segregationists laws
○ by quoting the racist sentiments of city leaders
○ by describing birminghams record of injustice

Explanation:

In the "Letter from Birmingham Jail," King often refers to Birmingham's history of injustice towards the Black community. This record of injustice (such as previous discriminatory practices and lack of responsiveness to the Black community's needs) left the Negro community with no alternative but to demonstrate. He didn't just name corrupt figures (option A - not the main way here), while explaining segregationist laws (option B) or quoting racist sentiments (option C) are more specific aspects that could be part of showing the record of injustice. The overall support for the claim that the white power structure left the Black community with no alternative is by highlighting Birmingham's long - standing record of injustice.

Answer:

by describing Birmingham's record of injustice
