In 1968 , Mrs. Jones was a freshman at Spring Hill. She lived in the Raleigh area of North Memphis. She describes this area as not being the best place to stay, but affordable. In the 1960s it was different because it was the beginning of integration, which was a very uncomfortable situation for most. A typical day for Mrs. Jones was going to school , coming home and doing chores. Life is different for her now because she has grown closer with The Lord and is a grandmother. The day King was shot , was like a normal day. That year was different because that was the year that it snowed in April. Mrs. Jones said that she was very upset and confused about why someone would want to kill such an inspirational and nice person. When King was shot, she was in school. Everyone was shocked and in denial. Throughout the night she heard many stories, and scene on the news about the tragical event. That night her household was very quiet , sad and gloomy as everyone sat around the tv and watched the news at home. That night was very scary. Many adults were very angry and decided to start riots. Mrs. Jones had the same feeling for king after his death. She believed that he was a powerful speaker and loved how he believed in his beliefs. After his death she taught of him better than before he died. She said life did change after his death, but lately we have downgraded. She expressed the younger generation have started killing one another, and she feels like her generation has failed us young people. We did view problems differently, but we aren't dying to improve our lives for the better. Mrs. Jones says she feel as if people attitudes have changed. Even though our attitudes have changed we still are very selfish and self- centered. More people are trying to get their life together and find Jesus. She feels like we don't have the same love for one another as we use to.
