Many white clergy have been preaching that segregation is the right thing because it is the law of the land:

"I have heard numerous southern religious leaders admonish their worshipers to comply with a desegregation decision because it is the law, but I have longed to hear white ministers declare: "Follow this decree because integration is morally right and because the Negro is your brother."

King wanted white clergy to recognise that all men are equal under God.
