Honoring Civil Rights Leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 - 1968)! #MartinLutherKingDay2024
Check out our educational video for children about the life and legacy of civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!
“When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.”—Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929 – 1968) In this educational video, the Avant-garde Books Team proudly honors the life and legacy of civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. While an assassin's bullet ended his life, King's spirit of love, justice, and equality will live forever. #drkingholiday #martinlutherkingday #martinlutherkingquotes #martinlutherking #educationalvideoforchildren #educationalvideo #educationalvideoforkids
