Kathryn K. in 1968 lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but travelled to Memphis, Tennesse and Oxford, Mississippi often. Ms. K. describes 1968 as year that was looking up because of the end of a recession. Ms. K. in 1968 owned a Beauty Shop and had her kids off to college and she says this was a good time in her life. Ms. K. does not recall much about where she was when she heard Martin Luther King Junior was assassinated but she described it like a nightmare, and that she and her family loved King and says most people around her had mixed emotions. Some people thought it was good because they thought King was stirring the pot and others were sad. Ms. K. also does not recall many riots. Ms. K. had a consistent view of King that he would solve the hatred and that he was a child of God. Ms. K. does not recall any change in people's actions after King's assassination. Ms. K. does not think anything has changed from 1968 to the present, but she thinks the president can solve some of the problems. Ms. K. also added "Until we learn to love...each other like Jesus taught we will forever be stuck in the past.
