Stern, Frederick C. | April 22, 1968 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents eleven hour experience of the author in Chicago after the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. At around 9:00 the author was reading a large portion of the letter to his first class. There were two black students, the author tried to have a discussion with the classmates but he got no response. At around 10:50, on the way to my second class, one of the leading faculty activists called the author to inform that classes will be suspended from noon on, and that there will be a memorial service of some sort.
