    This question is incomplete, here's the complete question.

    Dr. Martin Luther King's Letter from Birmingham Jail and Franklin Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech.

    Write an essay in which you explain how the two documents explore people's fundamental human rights and what the two authors want done to end the injustice.

    Answer:

    King's Letter expresses his strategy of non-violent resistance to end racism, claiming that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws.

    Roosevelt's speech envisioned a quartet of essential freedoms, hoping to inspire people to fight against injustice.

    Explanation:

    On January 6, 1941, Roosevelt's speech outlined the possibility of a new world order based on four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. All of this would later be a part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

    Roosevelt's call to fight against injustice was linked to the rising of Hitler's fascist regime.

    On April 16, 1963, King wrote his letter as his answer to "A Call for Unity", signed by eight white clergymen that objected to King's nonviolent protests against segregation in Birmingham.

    Having been accused of taking the battle against social injustices into the streets instead of doing so only in the courts, King stated that direct actions were required to obtain actual civil rights, describing civil disobedience as justified in the face of unjust laws and even a moral responsibility.
