A day at home, to remember Martin Luther King, Jr."Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere... Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963, Birmingham, AL
Abbott's response, excerpted from his homework: 'If someone elsewhere is being treated badly, don't ignore it! It might be you next. Also, it is the right thing to do! That is what Martin Luther King did, and I feel very proud that we have a country like this. It makes me feel proud of what he did to make the world a better place.'

what a sweetie. a wise young man you've got there.
We had a long discussion (with the 6 yr old) about why someone would kill someone who was trying to make the world a better place. And it's really hard to explain.
Thanks, Amber.
Alicia: yes it is.
I love the first sentence from Abbott's response. He hit the nail on the head. He his very wise.
That Abbott, a wise and thoughtful soul.
They do an excellent job of teaching mlk in our school, and the resulting conversations always make me proud.
