The third Monday each year is a federal holiday that has been set aside for us to honor the amazing life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was created a national holiday in 1983 after 32 years of campaigning.
Please have your children involved so that they can learn more about him! There is so much information available for children that is absolutely free, from suggested activities to printouts and crossword puzzles to coloring pages as well as YouTube videos designed just for children. And, of course, there are many children’s books too. I have researched and compiled some websites for you to review and share with your children. Even if your children have done some studies about him last year or in school, there is such a vast amount of information available that they can always learn something new.
