    When professor mentioned that we would watch and discuss about a Broadway Musical show named ‘Memphis’, the first that came to my mind was, the actual city Memphis in the southern state of Tennessee. I was still confused as to how a city and its activities could be incorporated into a Musical show, which is assumed to be entertaining with melodramatic components, dance and music. I had an assumption that it would be academic, political, boring since it is to be watched in a classroom setting and that a professor would not choose something entertaining or something of the liking of the younger generation. I deduced that this play might touch the topic of race since race defined how a person is treated in most southern states. I assumed that…

    I went to Washington DC a couple of years ago and one of the most memorable experiences I had was visiting the Lincoln Memorial in front of which Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous "I have a dream” speech on August 28, 1963. An American baptist pastor and activist, Luther King became the most visible spokesperson and leader of the civil rights movement from 1954 until he was assassinated on April 4, 1968. Today, right on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial there’s a plaque dedicated to him, commemorating his famous speech for Jobs and Freedom. (A plaque that I, and many others, have taken pictures with, which means that I had to lay on the ground in the middle of a tourist-filled place and try not to get stepped on.)…
