As We Celebrate One of the Greatest Leaders of Our Time!

Martin Luther King was one of our greatest leaders of our time whose accomplishments we celebrate each year. His fight for social justice should be an example of the passion, commitment and effort we must all participate in to make our world better.

Please explore these many multi-media resources from the Library of Congress that include sound clips, photographs, and reflections of those who lived through the Civil Rights movement and use them to engage your students in the real life struggle of this era and the accomplishments of this great leader.
