Explanation:

In "Letter from Birmingham Jail", King often describes the long - standing record of injustice in Birmingham to show that the Negro community was left with no alternative but to demonstrate. He didn't just provide names of corrupt figures, explain segregationist laws in isolation, or just quote racist sentiments. The overall record of injustice was his main argument.

Answer:

by describing Birmingham's record of injustice
