This Monday is Martin Luther King National Day of Service.  In 1994, the Federal Government made this a day of service.  It is not meant to be a holiday—but a day of thoughtful planned service to others.  You may want to pick up some garbage in the neighborhood, help a neighbor, or help your parents.  By helping others, you will honor the legacy of this great man.

During the century after the Civil War, African Americans remained segregated in the South.  There they were treated with prejudice, denied voting rights and even lynched.   This time was called the “Jim Crow” era.

Many African American leaders sought to overcome this.  One leader was Martin Luther King.  He was minister who led hundreds of thousands of blacks to use civil protest to bring about change. He would be killed in 1968, at the age of 39.

Thank you, Dr. King for changing the world with your bravery!
