This was an important event in American history. On this day, Dr, Martin Luther King was killed. Although some people may not remember who killed him, they remember what they were doing when they heard the news.

This was a day Kate Smith will never forget. She remembers working in her office near the two towers. “My friend shouted that a plane just hit the World Trade Center! I didn't believe him at first, but then I looked out of the window and realized that it was true. I was so scared that I could hardly think clearly after that."
