Project Summary

Students will learn about the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., reflect on a section of Dr. Martin Luther’s King’s speech “I have a dream” and become aware of inequalities that still exist in the United States today. They will create a list of other dreams MLK would have if he were alive today. Students will compile ideas of their dreams of freedom.   They will also interview family members on what freedom means to them and in what ways they consider themselves free or not free.    They will create an work of art (poster, painting, poem, song, rap, blog post, etc.) that represents what dreams of freedom they have, and host a showcase/exhibition of their creations.  We will invite family, friends, school administration and community partners to attend the performance.
