“I would travel back to one of two places, one to stop the assassination of Abraham Lincoln or two to stop the assassination of Martin Luther King. After Abraham Lincoln was assassinated the country took a different path, he was more about bringing the southern states back into the fold with less punishment. After he was assassinated the people who took over for him were more punitive towards the south which led to more resentment towards African Americans. As far as Martin Luther King goes, he was such a great leader had his voice been heard for a much longer time, I believe grace relations would have come about quicker and would have gotten better in a much quicker way.” -Dan Grimes, high school math teacher
