“I think about him a lot, almost every day. I’ve got white friends and black friends that I play with a lot. I think he would be amazed right now at how far we have come since 1963 to 2018. I think he would be proud.” — Cedricka Harris, 11 https://nyti.ms/2GzZg2U pic.twitter.com/VVgVYxDWDy

“If it wasn’t for him, I probably wouldn’t be here because my dad, he’s African-American, and my mom is white. Now you see equal rights, but you used to not see that.” — Gabino Valderrama, 12 https://nyti.ms/2EjDIS8 pic.twitter.com/Y82oMvWhUj

“What worries me most is what’s going to happen, like if I’m going to be good at one moment and then be hurt or dead the next moment because people, they just don’t listen. They don’t follow by the rules. Dr. King could have fixed it.” — Nicko Brown, 13 https://nyti.ms/2uNQRTN pic.twitter.com/RRhRK0eR98
