Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr.

When I hear the name Martin Luther King, Jr. it invokes in me thoughts of peace, acceptance, equality, tolerance, love, and freedom.  These are sentiments that every child should be reminded of when they hear the name of this great Civil Rights leader.

For older kids, you can print out a free printable from Do One Thing on the King Day of Service. 

Not sure where to start? Visit the United States Volunteer Match Organization where you can be matched with volunteer opportunities in your area.

The King Center in Atlanta, Georgia is a self-guided tour where you can see Dr. & Mrs. King’s Crypt, The Eternal Flame and Freedom Hall.

In Tennessee you can visit the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel where visitors are taken through centuries of history, and Dr. King’s, Jr. last hours.

In Washington, DC. a 30-feet statue of Dr. King can be viewed at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.

Books

Multicultural Kid Blogs has an awesome compilation on books that you can read with your child about Martin Luther King, Jr.

Through education, and serving others we can eradicate hate, inequality, violence, prejudice, and racism.  In the words of the great Dr. King, Jr., “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?”
