Wilson School 6th grader Oliver Hamilton III, left, reacts Tuesday Jan. 10, 2012 as his friend Matthew Gelfman helps him locate the window from which Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassin fired his gun, killing King outside room 306 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis in 1968. The Motel is now the Civil Rights Museum. Twenty Wilson 6th graders travelled to Memphis and Little Rock Arkansas on an educational seminar on the Civil Rights Movement called Sojourn to the Past. Students met people directly involved in the movement such as Dr. King friend and colleague the Rev. Billy Kyles, and Little Rock Nine students Minnijean Brown-Trickey and Elizabeth Eckford.
