Quantum Physics 225: Monday, Fifth Period
The Doctor looks unhappy this morning, unhappy to the point where he's mainlining coffee and scowling.
"Afternoon. You were supposed to read the synopsis of the historical period for today and come up with an idea for what you'd like to really focus on. You'd best have done it." His eyes imply that he doesn't want to play games. "We'll discuss it. And then, because you now know the importance of the civil rights movement...we're watching part of Eyes on the Prize. Out of respect."
After draining about half the mug, he looks back up. "And for Wednesday, I want you to tell me--who do you think was more effective in achieving civil equity in this period--Martin Luther King, Jr, or Malcolm X? This is a question that's thrown back and forth in academia, and I want you to weigh in. Thoughtfully. Do whatever outside research you need. Maybe start with Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing."
