In America, for example, many people remember what they were doing on April 4, 1968. 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. Do You Remember What You Were Doing? Robert Allen is now over 50, but he was a school pupil at that time. “I was at home with my parents,” Robert remembers. “We were eating dinner in the kitchen when we heard the news on the radio. The news reporter said, ‘Dr. King died just 10 minutes ago’. My parents were completely shocked! My parents did not talk after that, and we finished the rest of our dinner in silence.” More recently, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists.
