The first hot spot that I found in “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” is located on page 74. It reads: “We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that “justice too long delayed, is justice denied.” We have waited for more than three hundred and forty years for our constitutional and God-given rights.”
Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom writers did in Hungary was “illegal.””
While reading the essay “Sexual Violence as a Tool of Genocide,” I found two hot spots that were very interesting to me. The first one is located on page 110. It reads: “As white Californians described them in the 1860’s, Native people were “the dirtiest lot of human beings on earth.” They wear “filthy rags, with their persons unwashed, hair uncombed and swarming with vermin.””
The second hot spot that I came across in “Sexual Violence as a Tool of Genocide,” is located on page 111. It reads: “For instance, prostitutes are almost never believed when they say they have been raped because the dominant society considers the bodies of sex workers undeserving of integrity and violable at all times. Similarly, the history of mutilation of Indian bodies, both living and dead, makes it clear that Indian people are not entitled to bodily integrity.”
