“...he was FASCINATED by the collection of resources under "Think". He did not want to do any of the writing, but we did have a lot to talk about.”

“He watched [Dr. King’s speech] on YouTube and read the transcript. Again, he didn't want to write anything but I remember one comment he made was that if it were today, all that would change was from him saying ‘100 years ago to 160 years ago.’”

“...he was so moved, and realizes that his ideas are his voice, even as a teenager. A valuable reminder!!”

“I just walked into room and he was STILL looking at your history lesson!! He was actually WRITING doing the speech comparison document, I was thrilled that he initiated that ON HIS OWN. Your materials must have really sparked something in him.”
