Marilyn H. was 10 years old when Martin Luther King Jr. Died. She was at school when the principle announced it over the intercom. School was dismissed early and on her way home she saw people rioting and marching the streets and sidewalks. Marilyn was not allowed to watch the television or listen to the radio because her mother did not want her seeing or hearing what was going on. She says her mother was crying but she did not understand why at the time. She says from then when we had segregated schools and everything else now we have advance as a country "a whole lot" and she proud of how America has changed for the most part.
