In commemoration of Martin Luther King Day, the fourth grade students will be viewing the movie "Selma, Lord, Selma" Friday afternoon. This movie has been televised on ABC's "Wonderful World of Disney." The film is based on the memories of two young Selma girls who were 11 years old when King came to their Alabama town. It recounts the troubled time in the civil rights movement that eventually led to the signing of the Voting Rights Act by President Lyndon B. Johnson. This movie does have a scene where an individual is portrayed as being shot, although the actual shooting is not shown.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
