Happy New Year!
I hope the new year finds you healthy and happy.
Thank you for your patience over the holidays (and a week after)... Having the unencumbered time with my family has been absolutely priceless.
Our magazine issue this week is a little bit different because there aren't a lot of MLK crafts available, especially for younger children. I know that a lot of you use this holiday as a teaching opportunity, so I wanted to give you some resources. There's a ton of information below... something for virtually any age group.
In the meantime, I'm working hard to put some great things together for President's Day and Valentine's Day. We'll do President's Day next week. Until then... Enjoy!
About Martin Luther King Jr.
The third Monday in January observes the birth of Martin
Luther King, Jr.
Born January 15, 1929, King was a black civil rights leader, minister, advocate of
nonviolence, and the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
Born in Atlanta,
Georgia, he was assassinated in Memphis,
Tennessee on April 4, 1968.
After his death, many states and territories ovserved his birthday as a holiday. In 1983
the Congress approved a bill to make the day of his birth a legal
holiday. His most famous speach is the "I
Have A Dream" speach given on August 28, 1963.
"I have a dream that my four
little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by
the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
