[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 293137, member: 7666"] Having lived through history in the 60's I can say the impact of MLK was a life changing experience for me. I was in a Catholic high school in a mixed neigborhood, and an assembly was called when MLK was killed. At the time, the black girls were crying and consoling one another. Being a teenager, I really didn't understand the emotions, until I got home and watched TV and saw what MLK was stood for in the South. Unfortunately, riots occurred in the city and the students were advised not to return to school until contacted and told to do so. Upon my return, I learned even more from my black classmates regrarding MLK. My granddaughter has a strong interest in the south, regarding black and white issues. She had no clue how life was back then, as today she knows there is diversity in her school, but everyone is equal in her eyes. One of the first books she read was about Rosa Parks. And on Thursday, she told me MLK "I have a dream" speech was played over the intercom at school. To honor MLK as a person who was a leader, visionary, inspirational, compassionate human being to believed in equal rights for all Americans. [/QUOTE]
