6. I was in 6th grade, and found out the next morning when I came down to breakfast.

My aunt was watching the news on television, weeping.

When I went to school that day, my "peers" were celebrating.

8. There are now so many dates of tragedies that have occurred in my lifetime

It is important to acknowledge each one.

Some of those are of course, private family deaths, but the public ones are just as significant.

11. Exactly one year to the day after...

...King's infamous and prophetic Beyond Vietnam speech. ("Infamous" because many newspapers attacked King, and even some of his supporters broke ranks. But King's diagnosis was correct: the country needed strong medicine when it came to its ruptures over race and class).
