Happy MLK Day

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today is MLK Day and I hope that you all had a chance to celebrate with your favorite book, quote, etc. Also, don’t forget that you can watch the movie “Our friend Martin,” on Youtube. This was actually one of my favorite movies as a kid! I am also reminiscing on the time that I took a week long trip to Atlanta and visited Martin Luther King Jr.’s childhood home and the church where he preached. I am hoping to go back soon (after corona of course) and see if anything has changed. Hopefully not. If you were able to visit anything MLK in Atlanta, what was it? And did you have fun on your trip?

My Favorite Quotes from Dr. MLK

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means, keep moving. – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“The time is always right to do what is right.”- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

My Big Brother Martin

Don’t forget to head over to Youtube to watch my read along to the book “My Big Brother Martin” which was written by Martin’s own sister, Christine King Farris.
