Get ready for some awesome outlines this weekend, Carlisle. I've already typed one of three. I'll be sending them to you.
My weekend is pretty much shot.
And yes, I will worry about this test- worrying cannot be avoided.
:) Perhaps, I am on Stage Four of Erikson's 8 Stages of Development..
Nah.

You can see at the very end that he needed to be helped to his seat. You can almost see it in his face how much that speech drained him, he truly gave that one everything he had.
Last night, CNN aired a special on the King assassination, called Eyewitness to Murder: The King Assassination. Here's a small clip, on the last few minutes of his life. Including an interview with who is perhaps the only living man to have seen King at the moment the trigger was pulled. Anybody who gets CNN, I encourage you to find time to watch it, it is an excellent piece of journalism.

Thanks for the weather update B-Alik.
You missed notes on some of the social impacts of the Great Depression, a discussion of Hollywood and social responsiblity, and we started a small group project on the Great Depression. Make sure you take note of the reading homework.

"We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop."
That's my favorite part of the speech.

Its so sad that people would hate such a great man just because he is black. I would think that hopefully people have gotten better at it today. I heard though that like 6% (or around there) of peole would not vote for a black person just because he is black.
