MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.By Mackenzie Lilley & Alexa Hair

5th grade - Crestview Elementary School

DO YOU FEEL THAT WE ARE ALL CONNECTED, AS DR. KING SUGGESTS?

Every day we are all connected. When we go to school and learn as a group, we are connected.

We are all connected in how we live life together.

We ride the bus together with friends, classmates, and others.

We are all connected because we are all humans.

HOW EXACTLY MIGHT WE UNITE TO STRENGTHEN OUR DESTINY?

We need to work together and think of people other than ourselves.

Let other people join you in both work and play.

Be brave and step up for others when they are having trouble with something.

Even if you do not like someone, you should always show empathy. You could gain a new friend.

''ANYONE WHO LIVES INSIDE THE UNITED STATES CAN NEVER BE CONSIDERED AN OUTSIDER.''

Everyone should be treated the same -no matter if your skin color is different or height or age is not the same. We are alike in different ways.

We are all the same in most ways. Everyone has a part to play in the U.S.A.

Everyone should treat others the way they want to be treated.[Golden Rule]

''I HAVE A DREAM''

• ''I Have A Dream" speech was held on August 28, 1963

• The speech was held on the Lincoln Memorial.

• "I have a dream that my four little chi1dren will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

MARTIN'S LIFE

Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929.
