Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) worked to advance civil rights in the
United States and around the world. A minister, King became a civil
rights activist at an early age. At the 1963 March on Washington, King
delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech, where he outlined his vision, or
dream, for our country. In 1964, King became the youngest person to
receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial inequality.
That was MLK's dream. What's yours? Here's an easy and meaningful
activity for school or home - a great opportunity for
students to envision their “dreams”, think about what makes their dreams
a reality, and share this information with others. And, since the
Inauguration will be held on MLK Day in 2013, it is a terrific
opportunity to celebrate while thinking about government, leadership and
problem-solving.
