MARTIN IS CONFRONTED WITH RACISM - Martin's (Tyler Hoechlin) friend, Alex (guest star Sam Jones III), insists to his teacher that he's going to do his "Great Americans" essay assignment on Martin Luther King, even though it was covered in the curriculum the previous week. When the teacher overhears Martin advise Alex that jeopardizing his place on the basketball team isn¿t worth fighting over Dr. King, she changes the assignment so that all students must choose a Great African American.

Stephen Collins, Catherine Hicks, Beverely Mitchell, David Gallagher, Mackenzie Rosman, Nikolas Brino, Lorenzo Brino and George Stults also star.
