Martin Luther King Jr Activities and Lessons for a New Generation

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”

Education was integral to Dr. King’s vision for a more just society, and working to ensure that dream comes true is integral to America’s educators today. Share the influential ideas of this towering figure of the civil rights movement who envisioned racial, economic and social justice for America by espousing non-violent, collective action that would change society forever.
