STUDENTS-
My thoughts:
I was taught about MLK as a kid k-12. In college I learned more about his economic stances. On my own I learned that beyond his sense of justice, the man was a true revolutionary. 1/
I chose this speech this year because Dr. King challenges us to live up to the ideals of our nation. This is a worthy challenge, relevant now as it was then.
2/
I encourage you to dig into the text+ context of his speeches to peel off the layers of the man. He was more than just a civil rights leader, his ideas were far reaching beyond the idea of civil rights. His commitment to justice was inspirational.
3/
Dig into his work and feed your mind.
