Although it’s usually a day off for work and schools, the days leading up to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday are a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn about him. Although he lived a very short life, Martin Luther King accomplished many great things. His holiday/birthday is a fantastic way to introduce that history and will hopefully inspire year-long study. Here are some Martin Luther King activities you can do with your friends and children to help them learn about this extraordinary man and the reason we honor him on the third Monday of every January. The Montgomery Bus Boycott is considered an early and pivotal moment of the Civil Rights Movement. The yearlong protest of the segregation of public buses in Montgomery, Alabama, made King, who was selected to be the boycott’s spokesperson, a national figure. After King, Rosa Parks, and the countless other activists and everyday citizens won their fight against segregation, many other landmarks would soon follow. Identify several key moments from either King’s life or the Civil Rights Movement. As a class, correctly order those moments on a timeline. Then, assign small groups of students an event to research and briefly share with the everyone what happened and what you’ve learned. Some key moments to include: January 15, 1929: Born in Atlanta (students could include information about his family, as both King’s mother and father were well-respected figures) • June 1953: Marriage to Coretta Scott • February 1959: Five-week trip to India to meet with Ghandi • August 1963: The March on Washington • 1964: Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize • March 1965: Selma march to Montgomery • August 1965: Signing of the Voting Rights Act • April 1968: Assassinated in Memphis • November 1983: Martin Luther King Jr. holiday establishd of the August 2011: Opening of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C. As an added lesson, pull out a map and mark the places where these events occurred. Learn about pacifism and and the philosophy of nonviolent resistance. Along with Ghandi, Martin Luther King was one of the world’s most notable pacifists. Nonviolent resistance was at the core of King’s civil rights efforts, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. King’s six principles of nonviolence and six principles for nonviolent direct action are a great way to introduce anyone to the concept. Read King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and talk about the pros and cons of nonviolent resistance. Or as a group identify several current injustices or issues and discuss ways that nonviolent strategy might address them. It never to late to learn or brush up on the history that influences us to this day.
