April 8

IB 30/35

We watched the Biography on the life of Martin Luther King. I gave you a handout and questions on "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" that are due on Monday, April 11th.


If you'd like to read up on the assassination of MLK, you can check out the following link. I'm also posting a link to the Boston Globe, because they did a really nice retrospective of King's "I Have a Dream Speech". Civil Rights Movement Test on Wednesday, April 13th, see the study guide below.
