SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – For students of Joe Cummiskey’s history class, learning about the contributions Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made means also learning how students can impact society in a positive way.
“The concern is the world we live in. How do we justify burning a city? How do we justify innocent police officers being executed? How do we justify that people wake up in the morning and feel they’re gonna be judged differently because of the color of their skin?” asked Cummiskey, a history teacher at Winter Springs High School who focuses on politics, government and U.S. history.
