The performance will enable students to understand what Dr. King's childhood was like and will offer important insights into life in the American south during his youth. It will underscore Dr. King's dedication to knowledge and education. The program will also highlight Dr. King's belief in non-violence as the only effective way to battle social injustice and inequality. An inspiring review of the more prominent historical events of the civil rights movement will also be presented.
In an increasingly troubled society where violence abounds and injustice persists, the belief that we can succeed in making our world a better place through self-understanding, pride, education, and commitment is essential for our youth. We are confident that the audience will identify with Dr. King and be inspired to heal their world as he tried to heal his. You cannot ask for a better role model for kids today!
Living history will enter your school with this fine program and students will be enriched by learning how this most remarkable man made such a monumental impact on the society we live in.
