Today marks the beginning of a very exciting book study and lecture series. Plainfield Public School students from grades 9 through 12 will be reading, analyzing and discussing the last book written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Where Do We Go From Here – Chaos or Community?
This book, even for the adult mind (those of us who already think we know everything) is chock full of historical and relevant facts that stimulate critical thought, a range of emotions, but most importantly provide for an opportunity to engage our youth in meaningful dialog.
I won’t be posting the outcomes from each session; you are more than welcome to join us and see for yourself, but I will post some pull quotes from the reading that ‘sing to my soul’ and bring out poignant revelations. The first of which is as follows:
“Nonviolent direct action will continue to be a significant source of power until it is made irrelevant by the presence of justice.” (King, Jr., 1968)For More Information Click the IMAGE Below…
