HDT/MLK

We're heading toward a comparative analysis/evaluation focused on either the content or language. We'll use TurnItIn to verify authorship. Start scribbling in the margins. Ultimately, I'll be asking you about the viability of non-violent civil disobedience, as proposed by HDT, MLK, and Gandhi in 2008.

If you need a conversation topic this weekend, ask your parents if they have any experiences with protests, their knowledge of Gandhi, or their view of the most efficacious way to effect change. Share anything of interest.

p.s.
If you happen to know eight juniors on the fence about APLG next year, and you believe the course was of significant academic value, we ask that you encourage them to rethink registration, as the 19 year history of this course, offered only at JM as a team-taught option, is near a close.

p.p.s.
Extra-Credit?

p.p.p.s
If you happen to have found the author of the quote "justice too long delayed is justice denied" respond below. I think you'll find the role of this author in the history of the civil rights movement particularly appropriate.

p.p.p.p.s
unless your name is Mark Irish.

I'll have to go with
Thurgood Marshall.

On an unrelated note, I was watching the Colbert Report today and there was a guy talking about Microloans and what it's doing for developing countries. The guy who invented even won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996. It's basically a very low scale banking system for poor people that allows them to take loans in order to make business ventures and such. A community bank, more or less.
Wiki explains it pretty well if anyone was interested:

Edit: I meant to type 2006. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2006.

Second edit: He didn't invent it as much as become the most successful applier of it; he became famous for his work in Bangladesh. His name is Muhammad Yunus and the Nobel Peace Prize was given to him and Grameen Bank (the microcredit bank he founded) in 2006.
