Roland, today, showed me the conclusion for his book about MLK, Jr.
"But sadly Martin was shot. Well I hope you learned everything about Martin because I'm out of paper. Go outside and play, you need the fresh air. Trust me."

Race humor?
The class is working on writing non-fiction books with topics of their own choosing. Roland chose to write about Martin Luther King, Jr. Today they were writing introductions to the books. Most went pretty smoothly, if a bit bland.
That was not enough for Roland. "In this book you will learn facts about Martin Luther King, Jr. Where he lived, where he was born, what he did. All the facts are there in black and white. And Chinese and Mexican! Sorry, a little Martin Luther King humor!"

Got to hand it to him
Isaiah asked if I ever dream about him. "Only in my nightmares," I replied. He paused for a moment.
"While I was in your dreams, I saw your ex-girlfriend. She's not that hot."
