A few years ago, I wrote an MLK day post on creating a wordcloud from the legendary “I Have a Dream” speech. I thought I would continue the tradition by doing another for Letter From Birmingham Jail. The code is available here. It’s a simple project, but can be a compelling way to quickly highlight themes from the original text to pique the interest of readers.
