Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

January 20, 2014

Dr. Martin Luther King at The Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. addressing over 250,000 supporters during the “I Have A Dream” Speech.

 

 

  • Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American pastor, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Wikipedia
  • Born: January 15, 1929, Atlanta, GA
  • Assassinated: April 4, 1968, Memphis, TN
  • Spouse: Coretta Scott King (m. 1953–1968)
  • Awards: Nobel Peace Prize, Time’s Person of the Year, More
  • Children: Dexter Scott King, Yolanda King, Bernice King, Martin Luther King III
  • Education: Boston University (1954–1955),
    {Information provided courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.}

 

Dr. Martin Luther King was a profound Civil Rights Leader who fought for justice and equality among all of the races. He was eloquent in his speech, a man far wiser than his years, a devoted father, a minister who loved God and was not ashamed of his faith, he fought and died for what he believed in, he was not afraid to speak out against racism and segregation. Dr. Martin Luther King paved the way so that generations that followed his legacy would have the right to freedom, liberty and equality.

Today we honor a man of great significance who has forever changed the course of history and who has impacted all of our lives in one way or another.

 

Here are a few additional website references for teaching our youth about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King:

How has his legacy and life’s work impacted you and do you believe that Dr. Martin Luther King’s Dream has been realized or do we still have a long journey before us?

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave us so much. I can’t help but get a bit angry when I see young people behaving stupid and “thugish,” because I think of the sacrifices that Dr. King and his family made so that we could be considered equal and be treated as such. *Sigh* I choose to honor the man that did more for this country than Lil Wayne or Jay-Z could ever dream of.

    Thank you for continuing the discussion of this amazing man and his accomplishments.

      Hi Reese,

      I agree, the youth of today have no idea (none at all!) of the contributions and the sacrifices that those before us had to endure just so we could have freedom. I wish this younger generation would study their rich history and appreciate the roads marched, the bridges crossed and paths that were paved for them. Through these predecessors, generations to follow would have access to schools, jobs, education, the right to vote, social acceptance and human rights. I am upset because the young generation of today thinks that society owes them something or they are entitled to that which they didn’t earn. More in another post :-). Thanks for commenting.
