I just read this book by Clay Risen (who is speaking in my history class tomorrow) about the riots after King's assassination. Most interesting fact: San Francisco, knowing that rioting was likely the night after it happened, paid James Brown to give a concert that would be broadcast on TV and keep the blacks home watching it instead of out and rioting. Absolutely genius.
I'm really hoping that after spring break I am good at being a student again. I think I'm learning what it's like to be stupid. How scary.
Speaking of spring break... 9 days. Excited.
My predictions failed me once again. 2/3 is not acceptable. I will do better.
