Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights leader and Baptist minister sometimes called the conscience of our nation. Dr. King devoted his life to the causes of peace and justice. His voice remains as relevant today as it ever was.
To take a closer look at Dr. King I recommend, National Geographic Kids on Dr. King featuring a short biography well illustrated with photographs. The King Center in Atlanta has a more in-depth biography also illustrated with photographs and the King Center contains his archives. You can read his sermons in his own handwriting but King was a gifted orator and is sometimes best listened to. You can access audio files of King’s speeches and sermons through Stanford University’s The Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute.
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Thank you for posting links for more information! I have struggled with how to teach my young son about the importance of this today. We’ll check out the National Geographic Kids link when we are home tonight.
