Fwd: MLK Day: Stories, Videos and Service to Others

Monday is "MLK Day" in the U.S. Beyond all of his accomplishments, Dr. King left us an important question to ponder. "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'" MLK Day is, therefore, also a Day of Service. What Are Some Little-Known Facts about MLK (including his birth name)? Why Did He Write a Letter from the Birmingham Jail? What Role Did Dr. King Have In the Selma March? On November 2, 1983, President Reagan signed a Bill creating a national holiday to mark the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Mrs. King was present at the signing ceremony and also spoke to the gathered crowd. What Did MLK Convey in the "I Have a Dream Speech?" What MLK Speech Made "We Shall Overcome" a Rallying Cry? When Did Dr. King Give His "Mountaintop" Speech? Who Was Mahalia Jackson, Dr. King's Favorite Singer? How Did MLK Work with LBJ on Voting Rights? What Event Brought Dr. King to Selma (therefore becoming a reason for the Selma-to-Montgomery March)? How Many People Participated in the Selma-Montgomery March? ******* In addition to our resources on Dr. King and MLK Day...you might enjoy learning more about two new movies - "Little Women" and "1917."  ******* Dear Friends, We have some exciting news!
