50 Years Ago Today, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was Assassinated

On April 4, 1968, civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated.

-------------------------------------------------

There is a little song that we sing in the movement taking place in the South. It goes something like this. "We shall overcome. We shall overcome. Deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome." And somehow all over America we must believe that we shall overcome and that these problems can be solved. They will be solved before the victory is won.

-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s address to the AFL-CIO Convention, December 11, 1961.

Fake News? Or... Something else?

How do you know if a news story is real or fake? Are all websites accurate? How can you tell the difference between good information and bad information?

Join us on Thursday at noon this week as we talk about clues and tools you can use to navigate through the sea of information (and disinformation).
