In Case You Missed It!
Martin Luther King Jr. Day – January 20

Did you know that the percentage of Black or African American adults with a four-year college degree increased by about 24 percent from 1964 to 2020? Celebrate this day with elementary school students by having them do our history activity, I Have a Dream – Learning About Martin Luther King Jr., which includes key statistics like this and others such as changes in the U.S. population, voting rates, and education levels of Americans since the early 1960s when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.
