It is very timely that we are talking about the U.S. civil rights movement right now, since today marks the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King. Please have a look at the YouTube video that I have posted below. I finished off the PowerPoint lecture today that I started yesterday, and even had time to give you an idea of how difficult literacy tests were by having you write one in 10 minutes that was used in Louisiana to deny African-Americans to right to register to vote. We'll start the PBS documentary series "Eyes on the Prize" tomorrow.
