A Dream/Glory

For the month of January, our class examined the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We watched video presentations, read books, and had several lessons that incorporated all parts of his exemplary contributions to the United States and the world. We even took a virtual tour of the National Historic Site right here in Atlanta! Two of our favorite videos to watch during this time were "A Dream" by Common and Will.i.am and the awardy winning "Glory" by Common and John Legend from the major motion picture Selma. Ask your children about important dates, places he lived, his wife and kids, and changes he made to help review this great American hero at the home.
