Friday, April 4th was the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I reflected on his life and his legacy while listening to a retrospective of his speeches on WJMZ radio. I was feeling pleased that his life was being given more attention with a ceremony at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, which has been converted into a civil rights museum. The following day I read about the rally in The Greenville News. But there was another article that day that caught my eye as well. The headline read, “Middle School Student Arrested Over T-Shirt.” A Bryson Middle School 8th grader was arrested for disturbing school and suspended after he wore a t-shirt with a KKK symbol and a picture of a noose on it. Nathaniel Cary reported that later in the day, students at Bryson Middle passed notes saying some were planning to wear similar shirts, which would lead one to believe this wasn’t an isolated incident.
