Reading this article made me think of what Martin Luther King oppressed as he rebelled to rightous and justice of the African American race. As I read more into the article I was shocked to hear about how two fellow workers smashed to the death by machinery due to driving rain from sanitary work. Martin Luther King and his fellow activits went through all that just to make a better living for the future.

Reading this article made me feel traumatized by the incident. I say this because it was shocking for me to hear how a 17 year old can just drop dead in seconds.They say the cause of the death was due to an enlarge heart.

Reported on ESPN both teams will attend the funeral and memorial event.
