So far we haven't done anything new with our documentary.  We haven't been able to go edit because we've been too busy and the snowstorm last weekend didn't help... but! Next week we're going to try to go like 3 times in the week to edit during class since we all work on the weekend and then do the same thing the following week.  We have all of the info for the interviews we want we just have to find b-roll to cover it.

I thought this piece was really meaningful. I think you chose it because of black history month. Maybe. But, it's something I never read before and it sends a powerful message through a story.  I think that King is a really humble man, that wants to spread his ideas to people who don't share the same opinions through not only story telling but mixing reality in with it.  I think King uses specific names in the story, to get a full understanding of the type of people he was working with.  He considered them to be people that didn't have their heads on straight because of the environment and society they were put through.  And he completely changed them.  He goes to show that you can help people be more understanding and not everything has to be resorted to violence.  He took some people who he considered to be very dangerous and taught them that violence was not the answer.  I think the point is to show that if he could do that with them, anybody is capable of it.
