Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an American man that left teachers and students an endless legacy of learning for as long as there are schools , lessons, and the country we call the United States of America. In memory of his legacy, I often sing a song I wrote with classes as a way to talk and teach about MLK.
The lyrics go like this;
We are free free
We are free, free, free
We are free free
Thank you Martin Luther King
Black or white
Yellow, brown, red
Its not your color
Its the person instead
We are, are, are
Free!
We are, are, are
Free!
We are very proud
We sing right out loud
We are very proud
That Dr. King could help us out
We are, are, are
Free!
We are, are, are
Free!
Dr. King’s life is testament to many things in life. For students, I like to highlight what a great reader, writer, and thinker he was as well as how he lived and gave his life for the cause of Love and Peace.
MLK Day is a great day in my book.
