The final four in the Most Influential American Tournament is set. The Elite 8 created some outstanding common craft videos that were really outstanding. As such, the competition was fierce.
In the presidential bracket, Ronald Reagan routed George Washington to advance to his first final four.

In the tightest vote of the day, Martin Luther King squeaked out a 1 vote victory over Jackie Robinson. The tight contest was a result of the strong respect the voters had for both social activists as well as the quality of the work of the videos. Martin Luther King takes his nonviolent protests and his movement to improve the quality of life for African Americans in the 1950s and 1960s and looks to win his first title in the Most Influential American tournament.
