King Maartther

This evening over dinner Claire began an interesting line of questioning me about something she learned in school today.

She first wanted to know if I ever knew about King Maarther. I'm thinking of the fellow with the round table, but she informed me that was wrong.

Intrigued, the conversation continued.

He thought something was wrong.

He thought that everybody should be able to go to the park.

He was a great man.

He talked to the people again before he got shot.

He won a surprise, but long after he got shot. But before he was shot, he was a little boy who could not play in the park.

When he grew up, he talked and told people that 'this is wrong and we need to change this so that you can go wherever you want'.

By now you've probably worked out that Claire has this coming Monday off school for Martin Luther King's Day.
