Happy Martin Luther King, Jr., Day
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr., day. As a special treat, here is the “I Have a Dream” speech in its entirety for you to gather the family around, watch, and enjoy. When I was in college, we were the first class to have Martin Luther King, Jr., off. It was suggested that we spend the day at the art of historical museum, volunteer in one of the local soup kitchens, or follow another pursuit that revolved around learning or volunteerism in honor of Dr. King. The grade school children, I recall, didn’t have the day off yet, and parents were encouraged to take their children out of school to go on a field trip of a similar nature. Of course, now, they all have it off, but they didn’t always. Of course, most kids are thrilled for any excuse to get out of school, but families were encouraged to make it count.
