Answer:

The correct answer is the following.

The Birmingham protests were a series of protests held in Birmingham, Alabama, during April 1963. People were protesting against racial segregation. Among the organizers of the protests were Martin Luther King Jr., Fred Shuttlesworth, and Wyatt Tee Walker. Criticism was part of the response to the Birmingham protests.

Critics were tough on the code name of protests: project “C”, meaning Confrontation. Critics did not like the idea protests confronted the government with their boycotts to stores and marches through downtown streets. Eugene Bull Connor, a Birmingham’s Safety Commissioner critique the protests and got laws passed that said the protests were illegal. On April 12, Luther King Jr. was arrested with other protesters. On jail, King wrote the famous “Letter from Birmingham Jail”. Other people critiqued King for considered he took extremist measures to expose the topic of racial segregation, and for confronting the public force. Others critique him for utilizing black kids in the protest, saying that those were theatrical events to capture people’s attention.
