Thursday April 4th, 1968

Thursday, April 4th, 1968 is the story of a group of high school students who are traumatized by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis in 1968.  While the students try to process their grief, anger, fear, and confusion to this national tragedy, one student, Moses Derrick has to make a personal decision that will impact the rest of his life.

Moses is a track star at Central High School and is preparing to run his last race as a high school senior on the same day that Dr. King is being laid to rest.  Classmates, family, and friends try to convince Moses that it would be disrespectful to run, but Moses knows that running this race is his last chance to achieve his dream of winning a state championship; a dream he has been pursuing his whole life.

Thursday, April 4th, 1968 powerfully narrates the challenges of relentless peer-pressure, unwavering family expectations, and tremendous internal conflict that Moses faces in pursuing his dream.
