https://padlet.com/YourCoreTeacher/fjlcf27oalhuqqff Having watched the Brain Pop video and reflected on Dr. King's life and legacy, reflect on these two questions and share your responses: 1) If Dr. King were alive in 2021, which specific events and/or lack of progress in the US would he be DISCOURAGED by? 2) Which specific events and/or progress in the US would he be ENCOURAGED by? Please be as specific as possible in your responses! en-us 2021-01-19 19:53:07 UTC 2025-10-10 17:53:17 UTC hello@padlet.com emroux https://padlet.com/YourCoreTeacher/fjlcf27oalhuqqff/wish/1107533279 We would be discouraged by the fact that this is STILL happening today. Maybe not how it was happening in the past, but now it's sort of happening in more discreet ways. Is that better? Maybe. Is it worse? Probably. You look back on the lack of progress our county is made and you feel horrible. From police brutality, to overall segregations, it's really not okay. ]]> 2021-01-20 20:01:22 UTC https://padlet.com/YourCoreTeacher/fjlcf27oalhuqqff/wish/1107533279 chfree https://padlet.com/YourCoreTeacher/fjlcf27oalhuqqff/wish/1107533545 I think that one thing that Dr. King would be discouraged by Police brutality in 2020. Many people were hurt and some even killed, even though their actions did not deserve this punishment. Although, he might be encouraged by the action that many people took to try to make things right, such as the Black Lives Matter peaceful protests. ]]> 2021-01-20 20:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/YourCoreTeacher/fjlcf27oalhuqqff/wish/1107533545 brwillabus https://padlet.com/YourCoreTeacher/fjlcf27oalhuqqff/wish/1107533605 I think that Dr. King would be a little discouraged because there is still not a lot of diversity in politics, laws, and other things]]> 2021-01-20 20:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/YourCoreTeacher/fjlcf27oalhuqqff/wish/1107533605 https://padlet.com/YourCoreTeacher/fjlcf27oalhuqqff/wish/1107533675 I think that Martin Luther King would definitely be discouraged by how peaceful BLM protests get so violent because of the police.
