Great resource for MLK Jr Day. Students enjoyed learning about his life. They really enjoy the biographies. Thank you!
Loved the content and the facts that gave some background knowledge other than what is usually said about MLK. The boyhood information helped my middle schoolers relate to him better.
The kids were engrossed in this film. They really liked the reenactment format.
