50 years ago, more than 250,000 people went to Washington, D.C., for a demonstration. It was called the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. At that time, many black Americans couldn’t get good jobs or go to good schools like white people. Many were poor. Martin Luther King, Jr., made a speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial and talked about his dream of black and white people living together in freedom. Some of his dream has come true. Many black people are getting a better education and have better jobs, but a lot of black Americans are still poor. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

New England, the northeastern part of the U.S., is a great place to go birdwatching. There are mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, and a long seashore. On Monday I went to see a puffin, sometimes referred to as the penguin of the north. It is a small black and white sea bird like the penguin, but it has a big orange beak like a parrot. Unlike penguins, puffins float on the sea and dive for fish using their wings for propulsion. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
