Tuesday, January 19

In honor of MLK, Jr. and in preparation for reading Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" (aka "Resistance to Civil Government"), we watched the several minutes of a Citizen King, a documentary about MLK, treating the movement in Birmingham, Alabama, in April, 1963, then looked at King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail." Was Martin Luther King a troublemaker? What do we think of troublemakers??

Students turned in their Outside Reading assignments.
