I am a 6 year old from Whitehaven, TN. My memory of Martin Luther King Jr.'s death is very limited, as I was sheltered from the event, I remember Whitehaven as being a nice neighborhood that resembles the now suburbs of Memphis. A lot of people had mixed emotions toward Martin Luther King Jr., but around kids, they never expressed their feelings. I had just gotten home from school, and enjoyed by day like usual, but that night my parents had the television on and they were glued. They never really let us watch the news, but we heard and saw when we snuck in. The news showed how violent some people were and how sad they were. It also showed some people's concern over what had happened and was going to change. The next morning I heard some people talking about it, but I never thought anything about it. The people around use never really changed, but I think that they took it in. It was not until later that we realized what the change was going to be. It took a couple of months, but during that time I saw others acting differently, but the real realization hit when I was taught about it later.
