Martin Luther King Day

This week America will observe Martin Luther King Day, a holiday which celebrates and honors the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the American Civil Rights Movement.

There are many teaching resources on the web for you to help your students gain a deeper understanding of the Civil Rights Movement and contributions of Dr. King:


  • Get your students inspired by having them watch the footage from the 1963 March on Washington where Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
