| Program Description | The struggle to change the conditions in America, and to win equal protection under the law for citizens of all races, formed the backdrop
of Martin Luther King’s short life. It may be hard to believe that less than 50 years ago, America had separate drinking fountains for whites and blacks and colored balconies in movie theaters. Using the book, Martin’s Big Words , the students will come to an understanding of King’s childhood determination to use “big words” through biographical information and quotations. Using this book as well as other resources on Dr. King, students explore information on King’s “big words” and then will write about their own “big words” and dreams for the future. Program materials will be provided. | |
| Program Format | 1. This program begins with a discussion of Martin's background as a child that shaped his future determination to overcome the inequality of rights for all.
2. Discussion of how his words were used to overcome the racism and other issues present during his lifetime including the I Have a Dream speech. 3. We view a video of the book Martin's Big Words pausing to have students to reflect on the words that Dr. King used during his life time. 4. Participants will use the Big Words template to identify their own big words. 5. Students will share their "Big Words" and share their reasons for selecting. | |
| Objectives | The participant will:
- identify the inequalities of rights for certain groups of people during the lifetime of Martin Luther King Jr. - identify and define words that were used by Dr. King to promote equality for all. - engage in a discussion about why these words inspired people to change their attitudes and enact laws that reflected his dreams. - list words that inspire them personally and explain why they are inspirational to them. | |
