Monday we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a powerful civil rights leader and activist. He believed in peaceful protest. His leadership changed America by advancing equal rights in the US. Without the actions of the civil rights movement under his leadership, you would not be in this ESL class today, there probably would not be ESL classes at community colleges for free if it were not for MLK.
Here is a short video on his life and work.

What do you think about his leadership? How does the civil rights movement of the 1960s affect you today? Think about it...
Best,
Teacher Bonnie
