When Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968, Brian Ellis was a 10-year-old boy living in Niagara Falls, New York. To capture the time and help understand what was going on at the time, not only in New York, but around the country, he began keeping a scrapbook of newspaper clippings and other items. In the unedited version, Mr. Ellis speaks of his work at a local elementary as a Read Aloud volunteer and the considerations of book choice about Black History Month for kindergartners, memories of racial changes in the country and the time a relative of his met Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
