Kids have a way of remembering the wrong things! Whenever I ask - TopicsExpress



          

Kids have a way of remembering the wrong things! Whenever I ask kids what they know about Martin Luther King, they almost always say he was killed or his house was bombed! I always tell them they would not have a day off school to celebrate him if that was all. THIS is why they have a day off school. I love this explanation by MLKs speechwriter. He notes that he did not write the I Have A Dream section into that days speech. Mahalia Jackson, the great gospel singer, was on the podium with MLK and she called to him in the middle of the speech, tell them about the dream, Martin! The rest is history!! This struck a chord with me because she was one of my mothers all time favorite singers!! https://youtube/watch?v=KxlOlynG6FY
