Halloween, they know. Martin Luther King Day? Not so much.

An impressive number of my students know who Martin Luther King, Jr. was, and some recognized him enough to say "I have a dream" when they saw his name on the board. There were still quite a few classes, however, where I got blank stares or far-out guesses. My favorite was "Didn't he used to be Prime Minister of England?"
