Answer :
The King was imprisoned for his protest against the segregation on the buses and the other various racial discrimination that the Black people faced.
He wrote this letter "Letter from Birmingham Jail" while being in the prison, as a response for the statement that was written by a group of clergymen condemning his protest.
The allusion to the three characters of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego are from the Bible found in the book of Daniel. they refused to bow down to the image of Nebuchadnezzar, defying the order of the king but keeping their faith and promise to their own living God. King compares his protests with that of the show of resistance by the three young men, giving a reason and an explanation for his peaceful approach to the discrimination inflicted on his people.
