Newspaper Article & Zoom Meeting @ 11:00

Good morning scholars, today we will be looking at an outside text and reading about the night that MLK’s house was bombed. I really enjoyed the news article’s vivid description of the speech that MLK gave to the gathered crowd right after the bombing.  The details really filled in and answered some questions I had after reading the book.  I hope you enjoy it.
