Hi Onyx, this week we celebrated Martin Luther King Jr day.
We looked at some of the courageous non-violent acts, MLK completed in order to fight for equality for Black people, and his vision of creating a world where his children would be judged by the content of their character, and not the colour of their skin.
Our learning concept this half term is, ‘Life and Learning, The power of the written word.’ We discussed how the written word allows us as people to communicate with each other, and considered how the power of the written word facilitated MLK to share his message.
Martin Luther King Jr had a dream…please share some of the interesting facts you have learned about MLK, and his contributions. Consider how the power of the written word helped to facilitate him on his mission, and share his dream with the world.
Martin Luther King jr was a man who was helping Black people get equal rights. As time went on, people loved MLK and they followed him and his speech 250,000 people joined and watched him and they took his advice on equal rights for black people. if it was not for the written word, we would not known MLK and things today would be way different than if we did not know Martin Luther King.
Martin Luther King Jr was the person who organised the Washington march,which had 250,000 people attended. Martin Luther King Jr went to jail 29 times just for standing up for Black people. Martin Luther King Jr had the power of the written word, he used the written word to help deliver his humble message and help Black people gain equal rights.
Martin Luther King Jr. went to jail 29 times just to try to get equality for all! He even survived a knife attack from a woman who didn’t believe that everybody should be equal. If we didn’t have the written word, we probably wouldn’t know as much about MLK and all his work.
Martin Luther King Jr is a man who changed the way we see race today he is a legend who lead over 250,000 people on a march where he said he famous speech (i have a dream) and if the written word did not exist, then we would not know him and we would probably think it was a white person who fought to change the way we think.
Martin Luther King jr was a man who changed the world by creating change. He delivered a speech that says,” I have a dream that my four children will be judged by the content of their character not by the colour of their skin”. Our lives would be very different if the power of the written word did not exist and there would be no equal rights for anyone. I am very thankful for Martin Luther King Jr and his speech because who knows what the world would be like if the power of the written word never existed at all.
During our lessons about Martin Luther King jr I learnt that he went to prison 29 times. These were all due to him trying to stand up for black people and equality for them. The power of the written word helped him as he very much followed Jesus’ way of living.
Martin Luther King jr (MLK) was a legend to many communities. MLK jr got arrested 29 times just for standing up for equal rights. MLK was the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Martin Luther King Jr was an African-American man, who stood up for black people’s life. He was assassinated on 4 April 1968 by a man who didn’t agree with his actions. If he didnt stand up for his rights where would we be now?
On MLK day, we learned all about Martin, his achievements and his unfortunate death.
Martin Luther King was a civil rights leader and led the Washington march and over 250,000 people attended the march. Martin Luther King went to prison 29 times and survived a stabbing, this was only because he did lead the black people rights and was attempting to end segregation.
