Martin Luther King Jr - Going Deeper
Dr. Martin Luther King was an incredible leader for equity, justice and human rights. It’s valuable to share his legacy with our students, but too often these lessons are limited to the superficial facts of his life and work. Here are some resources that allow you to dig deeper with your students to explore the enduring power of Dr. King’s work and vision for a more just society.

February
Black History Month Resources
"When Carter G. Woodson established Negro History week in 1926, he realized the importance of providing a theme to focus the attention of the public. The intention has never been to dictate or limit the exploration of the Black experience, but to bring to the public’s attention important developments that merit emphasis." (Association for the Study of African American Life and History) Even though the month of February is nationally recognized as “Black History Month,” we realize that the contributions made by Black people are too numerous for their importance to be confined to one month. Black History is History. These resources will help you teach Black History in February and throughout the rest of the year.
