Explanation:

"Harrison Bergeron" is a short science fiction written by Kurt Vonnegut first published in October 1961. And "Letter From Birmingham Jail" is written by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on 16 April 1963. In both the writings we find that the writers have emphasized on equality.

In "Harrison Bergeron," Vonnegut begins the story with,

"THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General."

The writer is offering a satirical tone on the political and social happenings of America.

In "Letter From Birmingham Jail," King is presenting the seriousness of racism in America in 1963. He takes his readers to their common belief upon which the foundations of the nation is laid,

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal ..."
