Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The name of Martin Luther King Jr. was brought up once again in 1963, when he was scheduled to appear at a march in Washington, D. C. The event was planned for two hundred forty miles to the south, but preparations took place in New York City. #2 On August 28, 1964, the largest march on Washington for jobs and freedom took place. It was a sight to behold, the throngs of activists gathered together before dawn like algae in a vast pond. #3 King’s speech was broadcast to millions of people, and it struck a chord with them. It was short but powerful, and it resonated with people across the city. #4 The police were called to a double homicide in Manhattan. The bodies of two young women were found in the apartment, bound together and partially covered by a blanket. One of the bodies was nude, with curlers in the woman’s hair. The other body was fully clothed.
