Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day to you!

This day is a really ideal moment to share some African-American history with your children and pay homage to inspirational leaders past and present who have been motivated towards peace for all through peace and unity.

Start a tradition this day as I do with my family -

1. Read with your children, your grandchildren, your community children, your neighbor's children, and all children.

Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A Picture Book of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Picture Book Biographies)
  
2. Play a fun game online. Who says learning can't be fast and fun?

3. Listen to a most wonderful account of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historical and motivational life on WNYC.  This is a most beautiful program where the Dr.'s life is retold and interspersed with music from the different periods of his life. Absoulutely beautifully done! You will learn about other inspirational persons of interest from a most lovely African-American and American culture.

4. Make a great meal inspired by the diverse flavors of history with a touch of tradition!

5. Make something to honor the day!
  •  Pick from here many great activities
  • Make a craft from a tube roll
  • Color Dr. Martin

6. Share some love! View the King Song and speech !

Enjoy the day! Why not create another day to celebrate in January! Make it something wonderful to look forward to!  Be inspired and celebrate with me!
