We will use the symbols of Kwanzaa, an African-American celebration, to commemorate the life of Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr., a great African-American who taught people of all races about freedom and equality. Dr. King's birthday is observed on the third Monday of January.
We honor Dr. King annually so that we will remember the important things he taught us through his life.
Kwanzaa is observed from December 26 to January 1 each year. In celebrating Kwanzaa, African-Americans and others are reminded of their history and struggle. Kwanzaa is a time to keep African-American families strong, to encourage people to work together for the good of all African-American people, and to picture a prosperous future for African-American children. All of these things were also important to Dr. King.
Read a storybook or a part of a biography of Dr. King. As you read about some of his experiences, tell how you may have felt or what you might have wanted to do in his place. Also read Matthew 5:9-12, 14-16. Talk about how these verses relate to the to the life of Dr. King. In what ways did he bring his world? How did he let his light of God shine? What happened to him as a peacemaker?
Dr. King shone as a light, helping us to see the way. Dr. King helped many people to see that everyone should be treated equally and fairly, regardless of the color of his or her skin. Dr. King felt the people of the world should be able to live together in harmony.
