What is the theme in Why We Can't Wait by Martin Luther King?

The civil disobedience of violating an injunction is another theme in the book. The process of using nonviolent methods to effect social change is strengthened when the demonstrators act resolutely to accept the consequences of their civil disobedience. For example, citizens may have a right to express their opinion, but not necessarily to make it a public gathering. A peaceful and orderly expression of opinion may still result in Bull Connor's officers arresting forty-two for parading without a permit. While this "parade" infraction may be illegal, it may be a result of oversight, negligence or misunderstanding. Presumably it can be corrected with payment of fees and a permit and does not rise to the level of civil disobedience. Similarly small group boycott gatherings or lunch-counter sit-ins at department stores and drugstores that violate "jim-crow" laws are nuisances to police state power that may cause warnings and arrest for assembly with no permit.
