In context, King is not actually apologizing, but rather, addressing the clergies' criticism of the demonstration. King isn't apologizing, he is making a point.

You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.
