Mr. C. by Becca S., Harding Academy

Mr. C. lived in Germantown right by Germantown high school. Mr. C. was 33 and lived a pretty normal life. He was a trucker and moved mobile homes for a living. Mr. C. said there was not much different from the 1960s, than from today. You work for your family. You make a living. When King was assassinated Mr. C. was on his way back from a business trip and heard about the shooting at a truck stop. When he was driving into Memphis on the interstate he said he saw a lot of police cars, but besides that everything was calm.  Everything was shut down so no one was really out. Mr. C. said nothing really changed after Kings death, he just went back to his job. Mr. C. thought that King had good thoughts, but was a bit radical in some of his ways.
