    MLK

    By cherryrn  |  Posted April 3, 2008  |  Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
     

    I was in High School in Pa. I remember we had a school trip planned to Washington , DC and it had to be cancelled because the school thought we would not be safe there. I remember rioting happening , in California, DC, and Detroit. I remember tthinking about how people who were involved in trying to change things were not safe. I remember fear in the country. I still fear a little for Presidential Candidates this year. It never left . Then I remeber the song coming out Abraham, Martin, and John. It seems to unite them forever in my psyche as great leaders for racial equality who died for the priniples they believed in. Unfortunately ,it was by assassination.
