Middle Schoolers Honor Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.
In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and in an effort to take an active role in honoring his legacy, Middle School students and faculty participated in a written meditation exercise on Thursday, January 18.
All boys, along with their advisors, spent 30 minutes thinking about the work Dr. King did and the work he left everyone to do, reflecting in writing on one of the following prompts:
- What does injustice look like to you?
- Who is one person or what is one movement of courage that has inspired you or impacted the way that you think or act?
- Albert Einstein famously said, “What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right.” Please comment on his words and the extent of their validity in your/our world.
- The quotation, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything,” has been attributed to various sources, perhaps because of its simplicity and power. Please comment on this saying and the extent of its validity in your/our world.
Activities concluded with a video tribute, including clips about the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Bloody Sunday, the March from Selma to Montgomery, and the March on Washington — as well audio and visual footage from the “I Have a Dream” speech.
