Today's SAT Word: Boycott (n, v): a civil action where a group of people refuse to use a particular good or service.
"Rosa Parks was instrumental in jumpstarting the boycott of the Montgomery public transportation system."
Today's Soundtrack: "Onward Christian Soldiers" (Traditional)
We have chosen this song today because it served as a rallying hymn of the civil rights movement. In today's story, we read about the efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and those he helped to mobilize to ensure racial equality in the United States.
Today's Warm-Up Question: What do you think of when you see the phrase "Civil Rights?"
This is an open-ended free-writing exercise, so write as much as you know!
