After the final bell of the 2007-08 school year sounded, young people across the D.C. area found creative ways to make it in the summer job market. The 2008 High School Journalism Workshop (meet the students) took a look at three groups of young workers: self-employed entrepreneurs, students saving for college, and a young artist with an internship.
On the 44th anniversary of the March on Washington, a group of young journalists (meet the students) revisited Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech of Aug. 28, 1963, and its impact on America's civil rights story. King's oratory and the march for jobs and freedom "played a key role in shaping the current state of race relations in the U.S., and greatly influenced future protest marches," the students report.
