Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and national holiday may have passed, but our
struggle for a more just, equal, and peaceful world continues each and every day.

Persuasive Letter: Drafting  Last week you researched India's caste system and learned about caste system discrimination; you were then charged with writing a persuasive letter to advocate an end to this practice.
