Martin Luther King, Jr, who one of the most prominent leaders in the United States' Civil Rights Movement, was born on January 15th, 1929. Since 2000, people in all fifty United States have celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on the Monday closest to his birthday. This year, MLK, Jr. Day is being celebrated on Monday, January 19th.
People commemorate the life of this inspirational man annually and it gives us all a chance to take some time to think about civil rights and equality. In the United States, people are encouraged to spend the day volunteering their time to help others.
During class, your job is to watch the two videos. The first video is one made by elementary school students in which several of them perform different parts of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The second is a video recording of MLK, Jr. performing that historic speech. ***Please keep your volume set to a level that only you can hear as your peers will all be wanting to hear their own computers as well.***
Please open at least two windows on your computer - one for the videos and another with this blog.
While you watch the videos, I'd like you to think about the following questions:
-How did Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words make you feel?
-Why did they make you feel this way?
-What did you feel about the students' presentation?
-How can you apply some of his ideas to your own life?
As you are watching the videos or once you've finished watching them, you will reflect on what you watched and how you felt. You will be posting your responses as comments on this message and then reading and responding to the things your peers and I have written.
As most of you know, February is Black History Month (or African Heritage Month). To commemorate that, we will be researching important African-Canadians. As in many aspects of our history, we have much to be proud of and much to reflect on in terms of Black History, Civil Rights and Equality. Stay tuned for more information about things we'll be doing in February!
***Update (3 p.m. Jan 21st): To read some excellent examples, scroll through the comments and focus in on: Youssef H, Zaryab, Fatema, Mariam Me and Hanifa's comments.***

I Really liked the story it had strong words.
Jamal - What do you mean? Which words specifically? Did you watch both videos?
Jamal and Mariam K. - I see that you two are talking. Do you have something that you could add here that we could all respond to?
Martin Luther King Jr.'s words made me feel motivated, they made me feel this way because he was using strong and motivating words and made me speechless.
James
Review on videos: I think the videos are very sad and just shows what a cruel world it is. I think that Martin luther king jr had a very moveing speech with changed the course of human history. World wide.
James - You said that you found the words to be motivating. What do you feel motivated to do?
I was helping Mariam,with where to post the thing.
Damien -
I think that it is interesting that you said you find the videos very sad. I get a very different feeling from watching them. Read what James said and see if you agree with that.
Yeah, I agree with Jamal, the words were strong, "The Words Of Freedom" all of them.
-Venci
"There Is No Blog Without Venci" - Blogspot
Jamal - thanks for helping Mariam. Can you have a look at the question I asked you and see if you can add some more detail?
oh alright.
Venci - What sort of action does this speech make you feel like taking?
I think this video was really nice and sad,I think Martin Luthur made a good speech.
Everyone in E7B - I would like you to be more specific in your answers. You are making some good general comments - but I would like to know MORE about how these videos make you feel.
The words of Martin Luther King made me feel good inside and make me think that i can do anything i want but i just need to try my best.
Martin Luther King's words were very wise and right. I think that the world should be like this-- "Let Freedom ring!"
The kid's presentations were also very meaningful and it will make people care more about stopping racism. Like Martin, I also like things free and every animal treated equally.
Youssef.H Hi, today i read and watched Martin Luther King Jr speech it was a very good, and inspirational. The speech made me feel this way becouse Martin could have lead the african americans to war with the white people but he was a man of peace and used his voise insted of his fist. I am very happy that thoes students made a video about MLKJR becouse they were inspired by him just like i am. Well if the country leaders were more like Martin then the world would be a peacefull place to live in.
the words made me feel inspired and motivated
Yeah I seriously dont see how there motivating. The speech is almost like a distress call...
Husam -
Thank you for posting a response - but please see my comment from 12:03 p.m. about being more specific. The words "nice" and "sad" are far too general.
I really liked the videos because Martian Luther King Jr. words made me feel inspired because the way he was talking and the things he was saying were very strong. I felt that the students looked like the wanted to be like Martian Luther King Jr. and it was veryy nice to see young children being very inspired. I can use some of his ideas to have a way of treating people different than me.
The reason why i feel this way is beacuse i have good thoughts in my head.
I to agree with Jamal I found that Martin Luther Kings speech was really touching. And the fisrt video was also touching because it was telling how they felt befor when people treated them poorly.
Mariam.K.
Youssef H - thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful entry. This is exactly the type of response I was hoping for.
E7B - please read Youssef H's comment and use that as inspiration for your own comments.
I felt that they really liked him and wanted him to stay
they made me feel this way because they are big words to say
Damien - In my entry I linked to the full text of Martin Luther King Jr's speech. I would suggest you read that and see if there is a part in it that feels more motivating and less sad.
Heyy, I love these video's the kids are so right and they are cute to! I love how Martin Luther King Jr. fought against the black rights!! Genny
Hey Miss Pollock
I think Martin Luther King was very inspiring because I liked how he was talking about how he feels
I found this video quite sad, when I watched it the 2nd time ok yeah so maybe words aern't so touching, I don't know, I might agree with daimien Im kind of confused
the students presentation was okay, but not as motivating as Martin Luther King jr saying it himself
Russell - I would like you to be more specific about your comments.
Martin Luther King jr. was a powerful speaker. I liked how he said that he wished that white people and black people could one day stand together as one person. A very moving speech...
you can apply his ideas to real life because you always have to chase your dreams.
Folks -
Please put more thought into your responses. I don't want to read several short posts from each person - I would much rather read one thoughtful comment that answers the four questions I asked in my post (they are easy to find as they are written in RED).
Someone posted as "Anonymous" and made an interesting comment - saying that he or she was confused. Who was that? Just for your information - you won't get a mark without attaching your name to your comment!
martin luther kind word were very touching because it he said it very strong the students made it look true and very cute and sad.people feel bad when you dicrimanate their color.
When Martin Luther King Jr. did his speech, I felt that he inspired all of us. If they want to be free, they could be free if they want to. Ir doesn't matter if you're black or white, it doen't matter, because we're all the same. His dreams makes me realize that we can't give up, we all have a dream. We all are going to do it together.
Genny - Make sure to proofread before you post. Martin Luther King Jr did not fight AGAINST black rights - but FOR black (and all people's) rights.
Marsha - Very well said.
well it made me feel good and inspired because it feels like you want to stand up for your self. well the presintation was pretty good and it inspired me to stand yp for me and familyand friends
The comment continues...
The student's perentation is interesting, because the parts of the speech that they presented are presented in an interesting way. It's all inspiring and makes us feel stronger. In my life I could stop giving uop and try my best, everything could happen if I try.
I thought Martin Luther King Jr. had a great heart and always thought positive thoughts he was a great man from my point of view, his speak was very very sad. He had a dream and were following it.
Chelsea - his speech is even sadder as we trace the history of MLK Jr's life. In this speech he says he may not be here to see the world change. It turns out he was right as he was murdered shortly after he made the "I Have a Dream" speech. It's pretty chilling.
I wonder how MLK Jr would feel if he were still alive and attending Barack Obama's inauguration as President of the United States tomorrow!
the video made me feel sad but i felt encouraged by martin luther king Jr
i really didn't looked at the vidoe yet were is it?
Hi Makusi - go back to my post. There are links to both of the videos there!
The video of Martin Luther King JR. made me sad but not that sad
The video was amazing and it's sad that Martin Luther King died its good knowing people still remebering him if there was more people like him in the world it would be a better place.
Just amgine G.W.bush like Martin Luther King the war with Iraq woudve been avoidable!!!!!
Just too bad.... too bad O well not everyone is perfect.
Alex - I'd like you to go into more detail - what parts made you feel sad? What made you feel encouraged? How can you apply the things that he said to your own life?
Philip - That is very interesting. I agree that there should be more leaders in the world who believe in passive resistance like MLK Jr. I think that war is never a good idea. I think there are much better ways to solve conflicts. That is one of the reasons I personally feel inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.
Cody- i thought that matin was very impowering with his speach because he is strong and what he say's is the truth
I watched the first video and i was very inspired at how these kids are so involved in something important like this. This video was very true and it made me happy
Hi Cody - I like that you used the word "empowering". How did you feel empowered? What did his speech make you want to do? Can you imagine if this was the first time you were hearing a black person speak? Would you feel the same way?
...continued from above...
Think about how many minds Martin Luther King Jr changed. Many people were very racist and didn't even want to hear someone like him speaking. Suddenly - he is passing on a message of equality and peace. How could you not be moved?
Martin Luther King's words where very powerful and hopeful. For anyone that was out there when he was making his speach they would feel that he was sure of what he was saying and that his words wheere true that there was hope for changejust like me. The students did a great job some of them really made you feel really strong and powerful almost the same way Martin Luther King made you feel but still not the same.
Thank you Sam! MLK Jr certainly does seem very sure of himself. He was a truly gifted orator (public speaker) and spurred others to action!
I Ihik it was good that the were going some thin for him.I thot that the sepch was good and it was sad that martherlurtherkingir.
To: Anyone who is confused about how I said its like a disstress call: He is trying to get a messeage out to people who are suffering as he is. Like he wants black freedom. Thats what I mean.
Damien
I...was really touched or sad, which in other word, I was dispirited, but I felt brave, and I felt so sure that his dreams would really come true, and even though it did, it's amazing how he was certain that it will happen. Like, how could he know the future?? These feeling were because of his voice, and how he said it(you know, with so much power.)
comment cont.
about the student's presentation, it was really amazing! I especially like the student that was acting as a Mary McLeod Bethune(the educator).
She had such en expression!!
When I watched the videos, I felt sad for the people who were treated so badly beacuse they looked different. Martin Luther King Jr. had a good goal to help those people and give them their rights. His dream came true.
The second video made me think about how different people can change something really big like this huge raiscism that happened in the U.S.A. This video maybe happy because everyone can have a dream and especially Martin Luther King Jr. dream was the one that the whole country wanted to be able to change the law. It also maybe me sad because to think that if he was alive now the whole world might have changed greatly. Also that he might have been the president of the U.S.A and president bush wouldnt have prevoked this whole war in Iraq and that maybe the world would be a little more peaceful
I still think the world would have wars but it wouldn't be for long like maybe a month or something like that.
I really like the video because it show that Martin Luther King Jr wanted to change slavery.He also wanted people to be free. Also
i felt motivated like james said because of his speeach and also his vocabulary.
I thought that the speech was very inspiring and moving although it was sort of sad
I think that this speach was very strong motivational and sad. He really has an amazing talent for making speaches. He shows that if you want to do something all you have to do is set your mind to it. He understands fully that racizem is the wrong way to go.
i thought that the video was very emotional and very inspiring but also it was kinda sad what the white were doing to the black
For the fisrt video.....I was terrified because those students and himself (MLK Jr.)were the ones that made me think about how people were treating them and that there was this part where a young girl said that she was going to live with her four children in a state where they don't judge by your skin color, which made me feel very sad and was about to cry because their still young and their already scared and planning out what they want to do to make their children happy, they don't want them to live the way they lived because they lived in a state that was judged by ... continuing
as I said they don't want their children to live the way they lived because they lived in a state that was judged by the color of our skin tones. I felt that the students presentation was very good and I think that Martin Luther King Jr. was very proud of these kids, because the way they said it with attitude and from thier hearts wanting people to understand how they were living.
Hi. Miss.Pollock
I can't finish the second video today. I am very bussy. I will definitly finish it tommorrow. Thank you. :)
E8C has started watching the videos and are expected to make comments now.
Last night I heard an interview with Martin Luther King Jr. It is an interview from 1962. The interviewer asks him if he thinks there could be a black president in 40 years. He predicts that there could be one in 25 years. It took a little longer than he guessed - but today - January 20th 2009 - the US is getting a black president!
Yo that was harsh it was gross when they used fire hoses on the school kids in the second video
Thank you for your comment - Meshal. It certainly is gross and harsh to hear about and to see some of the things that happened to people based only on their skin colour.
My Opinion on what he had to say was powerful like what jamal said! I thought that it was powerful because he was trying to tell everyone that they are equal and how it doesn't matter what there colour, race, religion, ect. The reason that I felt that way while watching the videos because I agree! In have the same opinion one his speech! Everyone has the right to be free!!! When I saw that there was children performing this I thought that it was cool! If the kids meant the line they were giving to say then it means that there are a whole lot of people in the world who want freedom, respect, and a right! For applying his ideas to my own life I would be the same! I already feel that everyone diserves to have a right!!! I beleive that everyone is unique and the people who are not like them need to accept that! some people need to stop being so narrow-minded! they need to open up to different things! they need to learn that life is not just black and white, there are more colours out there. meaning that there isn't going to be one type of humans! everyone is different and should be accepted for who they are!!!
Serah-Lynn
Serah - Well done. Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I can see that you read the comments of others and that you responded to those.
They made me feel that segregation never should have happened and I agree with Meshal that the kids who are old as us are being sprayed with fire hose they hurt! I could'nt imagine myself in there places because they are mistreated so much. No ofense in any way but i couldn't realy hear the students presentations and I didn't like it very much but I loved the video about Martin Luther King! i can relate to this in two ways: 1 I would stand up for my rights if I was black in the 1960's and I could also relate that some people discriminate against me for being white( althought not as harshly as white people did against black people in the 1960's and up).
hey miss pollock!!! I think what HAPPENED TO THE BLACKS IN U.S.A is hasad which means selfish because the blacks are the same as the whites they are all humans. Why would somebody do that and not only did they separted with the blacks but if they labeled a fountain for blacks and one for whites. The one for the blacks would be ugly,and dirty but the whites fountain would be nice and clean.
Auguste - Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I take no offence that you preferred one video to the other. So long as you respectfully comment - you are completely allowed to have your own opinion and express it!
Hey miss pollock ! I thought the speech was heartfelt and the way he wrote the speach he reminds me of Mr.Obama.The video with the kids was very good and I think they understood the concept of black history month.Als I watch a show last night and it was about Mr.King and how he died and they were trying to figure out who killed him And they found out alot of people were involed including the cops and people from the goverment .That in so many ways disgusted me .
One thing that I enjoyed looking at was the background and type of camera vision they applied to the project. I was moved by the struggle of students to send a message that if we are together and stand together with hope, belief and a dream you will rise to succession just as the great luther king. So believe in your heart and spread the message of equality!

Hibo & Nader & Zaryab -
Thank you for your thoughtful comments. It is very interesting to hear what each one of you felt about the videos. We all get a similar sort of feeling - one of inspiration - from MLK Jr's speech - but we each bring our own perspectives as well. Each one of us notices something different.
I believe martin Luther king is an inspiration for the whole world as Gandhi, Mother Teressa, and Nelson Mandela did. They fought for what was right and as Nader said it was selfish but it was those people who sacrificed all they had to stop this selfishness. They had a vision and hope, they put it together and executed it with laws of peace, love, equality, and the idea of Auguste's, to stand up to tyranny and wrongness.There are times of darkness and segregation that should have never happened as Meshal said. Also wrong vs right, but these are those people who had it in them and these are the people of braveness and will give freedom for their people and lead the way and show the light. For every tyrannic leader there is a courageous man or woman that will stand up to it. These can be everyday challenges, together we stand and fight together and you can be apart of righteousness. I can relate to this with and by saying that I saw someone being sworn at racially and I asked if that is what they had been taught to do or if they have ever looked at the leaders of their area and ever learned from them or other fighters like martin Luther King.
I was touched by the videos because they showed the braveness and they showed who did with passion. They had great effort and tried very hard, I suggest they give more actions and eye contact would make it better. The second video was simply the definition of passion and it described braveness and the stand up against tyranny. Thanks for showing these videos you taught us many lessons Mrs.Pollock.
A man with a plan,
Yours Truly, Zaryab Syed
I can apply some of Martin Luther King's, Jr,ideas in my own life by,
if one day someone asks me how come black and white people get along, I can answer them by telling them about Martin Luther King, Jr. Also,if one day I spot students arguing about black and white people I can always remind them about a man who changed racism forever.
Thankyou for the videos Mrs.Pollock.
Sincerely, Fatema
Some things that I enjoyed was the costumes and the backgrounds of the student video project. I was fascinated by the words they used like,"without faith everything is impossible, with faith everything is possible."I believe their message was, everything is possible because you make it possible and don't let racism or anything else stop you.
The Martin Luther King, Jr, video was amazing. I loved the way he read his speech, and the fact that millions of people were stunned by his speech is also amazing.While I was listening to the speech, I felt goose-bumps on my arms.He definitely knows how to deliver his words. Luther King is a wonderful man that will always be remembered.
Marsha is right,
I think he really meant that nothing is impossible if u really
try your best.
Thank you for the feedback miss Pollock!
And everyone else your comments and persepectives are great and unique!
peace hibo<3
heey miss.Pollack,
I think that Martin Luther King Jr's speech was very inspiring and he wanted to tell people what he thoguht about the discrimination thats happpening in America and around the world. His speech had alot of expresions, and his point was very powerful.
hi mrs pollob I can come to your blogg
Tis is a very nice of can see how Martin was with the public.He speak a little bit like Barrak Obama.Colin
I watched the movies and they were very inspirational becouse the speach he made told us to use your wisdome over your power and to do whats right and if you try you can be free. I can see the he inspired everyone becouse everyone still remembers him and he inspired those students and they made a video about it.
Hey Miss Pollock when it comes to Canada Day can you put it on about Canada Day... or Nunuvut Day it is probably after Canada day or in april 1rt
Very good
Hey Miss Pollock,
I want to start off with the video of the little students. I thought that they did surprisingly well for such young children and their teacher worked hard toput it all together. I really liked their costumes.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech was very powerful. He is an amazing speaker and really made the words of his speech come to life. It is very rarely that you find someone who speaks with so much passion, his words almost reach into your soul. His speach made me feel mixed emotions because I feel sad that these things happened to people but they also made me feel like there is hope and there are people like him who use their gifts to create a movement, and who know that many people will hate them, they can be harmed but ignore that because they know that they are going to save people and they can change their town, or state, or country or even the world.
Alem:)
I think the video of MLKJ speach was very inspiring and emotional i really liked it.
I think the video of MLKJ was very inspiring and emotional
I think the video of Martin Luther King Jr was very inspiring and I can understand why the african americans were trying to hug Martin Luther King Jr. His words were very well though and true to life.
I think the video fo the students who pretended to be the famous afrian americans were very clever to think to do that. The clothes looked actually like they were from 60 years ago.
Hey Mrs.Pollock did we have to answer the questions you gave us for the blog that is what i didnt get and if we have to can you please notify me ASAP
THANK YOU:):)
I really enjoyed watching the young students' video. I thought it was very well done and I loved all the expression some of the kids put into the parts of the speech!
I also liked the Martin Luther King Jr. recording, his words were really moving. When you watch him finish his speech, and when the audience cheers like that, its something that you just smile at. Hibo said that MLKJR's speech reminded her of Obama's speech in a way; I think it did too. Both people really know how to give a powerful and moving speech.
Racism is still in our world right now, so its nice to have and have had people who really care and want to change that.
Ms. Pollock can you please look over my first assignment and MLK assignment I don't think I deserve the mark that I have gotten.
Hey, Ms.Pollock!
I really thought for the first video was very outstanding,how the elementary kids put that video together, with their unique outfits.
The "I Had a Dream" speech I really enjoyed it. He had a very clear and strong voice.
Maryan;)
hello mrs.Pollock
first thnx for the videos
second i dint know why should they isolate black people from white people i think that is really mean acually if i would got o a country and they separate me from black people i would say NOO because that hurt their feeling they are going to think that no one like them and there hated my others but after my small expirence in life i would say doing that law in the world is REALLY MEAN AND NO WAY I WILL LIKE IT and iam sure no one will like it
really tanks mrs.Pollock i now how much time u spend preparing those assignments for us !! really thnx
I'm going to redo my post for the MLK project:
I thought the kids recital of the declaration of Independance was nice and the children probably worked really hard to make that happen. I think it was amazing that for such small children they could pull of such an amazing performance. My favourite part is when they said: every man, every man , every man deserves to be free or something like that.
I loved the Martin Luther King jr speach. It was uplifting ensightful and he said it with so much passion even though they only said one or two minutes of it! I'm not suprised at all that he was such an influence on segregation and black people and white people alike. I think he was without doubt the most prominent figure and most respected figure in black history and should be remembered as a great man, a better speaker but the greatest influence.
Sincerely,
Auguste
Hi.One thing I liked about his speach is that his words where very powerful;they made me feel encurged.I also liked the stundents pesention because it looked like they put a lot of time in it and it paid off.
martin luther king, he sorta reminds me of obama in a way he wanted to make a change and he deffenetly would have made a change in the world if he didn't die he wanted to have a say in what's right and he did.
It's good what he did because if he didn't do that the world would be a whole diffrent place, there would be way more racizzime then now.
Martin Luther King Jr's words made me feel proud and happy that his words had such an impact on the world that it changed people's minds for the better. And that he made life easier for every African-American, African-Canadian and any African in this world. It made me feel this way because me, myself and plenty of other people are living proof of his words and ideas on equality and life. The student's presentation made me feel like even though the words they are recieting were said years before they were born it still had an effect on them, to remind everyone else on what they learned from those words. I can apply some of his words to my own life by living life to it's fullest and take advantage of the free life he created for me with his words and do something good for people and myself. I can also live a life of equality and treat everyone with respect that I would want them to give me.
I made a blog entry on the MLKJr.'s speech.
Jamesss
Mrs.Pollock,
I though that the videos were very inspiring,his words are every powerful and I thought his words were very strong.
I was extremely amazed my the word Martin Luther King Jr. spoke. The video shows that many american did ahve the same dream because as you can see in it over 200,000 people black or white showed up for the march for freedom .Many people now realize that every human being has the same equality and should be treated with respect all the same .It was almost disgusting to see those black children coming from school and being washed with fire hoses as torture because they were black .Now we know that ever human deserves respect.
i really feel kinda happy, proud inside, because the kids realize what they are doing and it is also a very good idea to make a video like this. I also felt sad inside while watching the 2nd video because of the footage. i mean why did skin colour matter so much, back then. how did the videos make you guys feel?
-Brandon
Hey Miss pollock!!! I got a comment from you say that I didn't complete this assignement. I went back to see what the assignement was and i relezed I remember completing this assignement, I looked back on the comments and I saw my post. I don't know if you saw the post or not but I did complete it!
Hey miss pollock!! Martin luther king's words didnt really make me feel anything.Dont know why. I liked the students prestaiton becase it was cool how the background was moving and everything. It was funny too. The segargtion between the blacks and whites. Remind of when i was 9 and people made fun of me cause of my skin color.I felt awfull like how the blaclks felt!
sinerly nader!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Miss. Pollock. I'm the same as Nader it did not make me feel anything but when it showed the fire hose being used on the black just because they were black made me sick because I don’t remember where but it said fire hoses presser is very high so it really hurts when it hits you. And another thing it said in the second video that he put away his pre written text so do's that mean one of the most famous speeches in the world was made up on the spot?
Hey Miss.Pollock,
I found martin Luther King, Jr.'s words to be touching and powerful, beacsue every word he would say he emant it alot.I like the student's video to beacsue it make me feel the same way about Martin Luther King, Jr.'s.
hi miss pollock
i did my matin luther king and i ansered all the questions and i found out that martin luther king speech is very inspiring and it sounded like Obama's speech and if you have time you could go to my blog and you can see my martin luther king thank you
from leila
hello Mrs.Pollock,
The words of Martin Luther King Jr. made me feel inspired. His made me feel this way because of what he said, his words were powerful and they were said with meaning. I felt the students presentation was good and that they learn't alot about him and his powful words.
Genny
Hey Miss Pollock
I watched the first video and I thought that it was very moving because it showed how children were affected by racism.
Hey Miss Pollock
After I watched the second video I felt real sad on how black school children were treated. Like they couldn't go to school with out getting harrasted.
I think the videos were very touching and really interesting because now days children are not that interested in history and racism because now days its mostly children and teens that are racist to others so it was really nice to see that Martin Luther King Jr. has made a very big diffrence all around the world.
hey,mrs.pollock
when i saw this vedio i felted so sad because the were not alowed to go school is is really sad.
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words made me feel confident in my self and that you can beleave in your self. it made me feel that way because he had strong words in his speech. i fealt sad for the kids because they couldn't go to school and learn like we are and they beleaved in thier selfs and were standing up for thier selfs.
i should not make fun of people if they are short, fat,
i finish the mlk jr assignment, so can i hand in assignment 6and 7 on tuesday.
Marten Luther King speeches #1 & #2were really inspiring! although i did not understand what he was talking about in 'I have a dream'
This video was very touching because his words were very powerful and caused many people to act. The kids were also very good and I thought that was a nice little project they set up that probably took lots of time and effort.
Martin Luther King Jr., like Barak Obama definitly has a way with words. They both inspire people with their great and powerful speeches. Martin's speech made me a if I could do anything that I really try to do. I couldnt't believe how badly black people were treated.
