BULLETIN: The Light...
Students,
While doing some research online I came across this very interesting wiki page. It is connected to the quote we heard today: "Show the people the light and they will find the way."
Well as it turns out that was the slogan for a popular news paper chain.
Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_E._W._Scripps_Company
Enjoy!
