  • These stories about the life of Martin Luther King Jr. cover the Birmingham Children’s Crusade, J. Edgar Hoover’s harassment and the time he inspired Nichelle Nichols to stay on “Star Trek.”
    About Drunk History:
    Based on the popular web series, Drunk History is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent.

      Sadly, it was likely him and other elements of a partially corrupt FBI that had Dr. King killed. Just like the Kennedys, we may never know the actual facts over what "The FBI" has told us that "happened". It seems that a large faction in Washington wants to continually massage the American mindset.

    I've been a teacher for 3 years and I read The Youngest Marcher by Cynthia Levinson to my students (3rd-5th graders, in Special Education for Social-Emotional Support, all boys) during Black History Month - It always makes an impact. My students have some of the most insightful discussions about this book and the book Henry's Freedom Box by Ellen Levine. They're non-fiction and both books introduce them to other players in Black History who are not just MLK, Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks, and Harriet Tubman - They already know those stories from Kinder/1st/2nd grade.
