Lincoln high school students rally for milestone events

MLK Day Focuses on Hope, History

Unlike most of the Martin Luther King Jr. articles that I expected to find, this one was not only local, it was all about high school students. I really enjoyed the way the article tied together the milestone of our first black president's inauguration tomorrow and the MLK holiday, as well as the student quotes used in the article: “One question I want you to ask yourself is ‘what have you done to further the message of Martin Luther King Jr.?’” Harris said
“Do you believe we can all graduate and do something with our lives after we graduate? You better, because before long we’ll be adults,” he said. “We need you to believe we can reach our highest potential.”

However, there is no quicker way to lose my interest in an article, no matter how good it may be, than grammar mistakes. There were several instances where quotation marks should have been used and weren't. For example: It is historic that America elected a black man as president, but it is more significant is that America has moved past race enough to elect someone based on character and qualifications, she said. And How about the 34,000 public school students, he asked, and all the students in Lincoln?
