On the 55th anniversary of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.'s death after being shot in 1968, his daughter, Bernice King, called on students to"refuse to return to school" until shootings are addressed.
"The only thing that I wish, and I’ve said this before across the nation as I’ve talked to different audiences, I wish there was a way to really organize them in a way that their walkout is not a day, but it’s the Montgomery bus protests, that we refuse to return to school until there is some significant legislation that bans assault weapons,” she said Tuesday.“This issue that they’re standing tall in is well past being addressed,” she claimed.
