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 discussed the history of injustice in Birmingham. He didn't just name corrupt figures or quote racist remarks in this context. While segregationist laws were part of the problem, the overall record of injustice (which could include a history of how those laws were enforced, past discriminatory actions, etc.) is what he used to show the Negro community had no alternative but demonstrations.

Answer:

by describing Birmingham's record of injustice
