Martin Luther King, Jr.



Why do you think that it is important that we still celebrate MLK Day?

Why does his speech that he gave over 40 years ago still have meaning to us today? Why is it important that we keep it in mind that we can settle disagreements with words and not violence?

What can you do to help spread peace in your family, neighborhood, at school or anywhere else?
