MLK, Jr.

Ms. R: Who remembers what we talked about Martin Luther King, yesterday?

A: He was a man and he changed the rules and he wanted black people and white people to be friends.

D: Ms. R! It's not nice to say black people.

Ms. R: Oh, D, I think you're thinking about how some people prefer to say African-American instead of black. But some people don't want to be called African-American because their families are not actually from Africa. So now, it's okay to say black as long as you're not saying it in a mean way.

D: Oh....Ms. R? Why don't they just call them PEOPLE?
