Today the girls didn't have school in observance to Martin Luther King Jr. day.
It was a lazy, good day at home. We watched movies and stayed in our pajamas all day. We also watched Martin Luther King Jr for kids from Homeschool Pop, then we discussed what equality means.
I think it is crucial to take the time to teach our children about what equality really means, and what is right and what is wrong, specially in times where these concepts have been twisted and mislead.
I love Dr. King's words when he says:
"There is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst from freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence".
He gave his life for this. What an example of peace and change.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day!
