King The SoundTrack is an extraordinary walk down memory lane grounded in recollections of American history, culture, music, and family. What a touching and emotional piece on Dr. King by a master of his trade. Martin Johnson, you deserve props for delivering a masterpiece article that is heartfelt, authentic, and insightful. The memories are bittersweet, but the struggle goes on. :

Thank You!
However, I must report that Louis Wirth Experimental (a school now called Kenwood Academy) is by no means Catholic. That said, Ms. McCoo, my seventh grade literature teacher there certainly exerted a profound influence on my writing style.

I enjoyed the keen insight of Martin Johnson's piece. He writes VERY WELL, and at least some of the credit goes to his "Catholic Middle School" in Chicago.
