Schools were closed that day in observance of King's birthday, and the event was called "a day on, rather than a day off" for Caroline County students, who could earn service learning hours required for graduation.
The event was more than a service learning opportunity, however. A mock freedom march and a performance of King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech recalled the struggle for civil rights in the 1960s, on the same day President Barack Obama would be sworn into his second term in office.

Walk to a JOB.
It's comments like 11:32 that make the Eastern Shore what it truly is.
Really, what on earth is wrong with students doing good works on a school holiday rather than sitting around in front of a TV?
It's actually part of the required community service. That is of course you are home schooled and live in a bunker polishing your tooth.
