마틴 루터 킹 박사의 삶과 가르침을 이해하다

Most people know the historic facts about Dr. Martin Luther King, but few understand his philosophy. In this class we will study his writings, speeches, and transcribed interviews.  We will also study little known facts, like what his real first name was, or how he grew as a preacher. We will bravely delve into how he was destined to be a change element in the civil rights movement. Besides examining the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, we will also look at some of his other less popular public addresses, sermons, and published works. Finally, we will discuss the historic backdrop of his masterful correspondence, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”

This class will be lively with discussion of ideas.  As an African American mom and lover of Black history I guarantee your child will grow in their appreciation of the man, Dr. Martin Luther King the civil rights movement and finally, and probably most importantly, grasp the vision of a man who inspired others to change the world.. 

While the content may seem weighty, it will be delivered in a warm and inviting style appropriate for young sensitive minds. I hope to inspire students to want to stir change in their schools, communities, and the world around them.
