The "eight clergymen" refers to a group of religious leaders who wrote an open letter in 1963 to Martin Luther King Jr., criticizing his actions during the Birmingham Campaign for civil rights. These clergymen included prominent figures such as Episcopalian Bishop Charles Colmore, Catholic Bishop Joseph A. Durick, and several others from various denominations. They urged King to pursue civil rights through the courts rather than through direct action, expressing concern about the potential for violence and disruption. King's response, "Letter from Birmingham Jail," articulated the moral imperative for civil disobedience in the face of unjust laws.
