In "Letter from Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King, Jr. writes: " ... but we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter." In at least 150 words, identify and explain the metaphors in this quotation and discuss how these figures of speech add to King's arguments in the letter.

The quotation is used as a comparison to how much they, African Americans, still struggle to get simple things such as getting a cup of coffee at a lunch counter or getting a newspaper at a local news stand, as if they were in a time before automobiles and buses, back when African Americans were enslaved and treated unfairly. It's using the metaphor as a way to show how little they've progressed through out the decades.
