A Then-and-Now Display

At Maple Street School, Jo and her grandmother studied a then-and-now display. Long ago, families and friends gathered for Thanksgiving to give thanks for food and help. Today, many families still gather or call loved ones. Independence Day remembers July 4, 1776, when the colonies declared independence. Today, people may show flags or watch fireworks. Martin Luther King Jr. Day honors Dr. King's work for fair treatment and equal rights. Then and now, people learn and help others.
