On the night of april 4th 1968, someone waiting opposite the windows of the Lorraine
Motel, in downtown memphis.

In front of the motel, a big white Cadillac parked; it was the car in which the martin
luther king was being driven round. As he traveled through the Southern states, speaking
to audiences in towns and cities, promoting the cause of non-violence and civil rights.

When King stepped out onto the balcony, to take a breath of fresh air after eating his
dinner, a shot rang out. The civil rights leader and Nobel-prizewinner, the man who
preached non-violence, fell to the ground, fatally wounded. Within minutes, he was dead.

The news spread like wildfire round the Usa; the man who had done more, perhaps,

been assassinated. Weeks later a man by the name of James Earl Ray was arrested.

Though James Earl Ray initially confessed to killing King, it was not long before
he changed his statement; and to this day, there are those who does not believe that
Ray actually guilty of the crime for which he spent almost 30 years behind bars.

• The one day I spent in Morocco, Africa was an experience of
a lifetime. When I finally reached Morocco and got off the
bus, there were four little girls standing shoeless in the hot
sun. After I swallowed my tears, I could not even try to
picture this in America as it is not something you often see in
the U.S. Meanwhile, my tourist guide instructed me not to
give them money as it encouraged the children to beg;
however, I was wearing four silver bracelets. As I walked over
to the girls, their eyes watched my every move. Then I
kneeled down to their level while I gave each girl a bracelet.
They stood there gleaming at me, for they were pleased. I felt
completely in disbelief that this tiny gesture could mean so
much. Though this experience was upsetting and a huge
culture shock, it will stay with me forever
