On this day (1/28) in 1917, 17-year-old Carmelita Torres was the first of thousands to refuse a chemical bath crossing the border from Mexico to the US. The event became known as the Bath Riots.

The chemicals used in this process included Zyklon B. This image from the border of Texas (Mexico, actually) is the same practice repeated later in 1956 using DDT.

Maybe this year we're only destroying families, rather than the cellular makeup of individual humans.

Article. By Derrick Alridge. 2006. 25 pages. Critique of textbook representation of Martin Luther King, Jr. as messiah, embodiment of the Civil Rights Movement, and a moderate.

Would be useful in teaching about master and counter narratives as well as characterization in an Ethnic Studies/English class.
