This week in class, Dr.Putnam spoke briefly about Martin Luther King Jr., mostly on how he was assassinated. This sparked a memory i had in elementary through middle school, where around the time we were learning about black history, the teachers showed us a video called “Our Friend, Martin”. The hour long video is an animation that depicts present day students who go back in time to historic events during Martin Luther King Jr.’s life. They have real footage of some of the events in the video and at the end we see Martin Luther King Jr. get shot (in animation) and then live footage of his funeral proceedings.
