Justice for All
Imagine that one day your teacher
said only kids with freckles could sit
at desks and be first in line. Would
this be fair? Your teacher would not
be treating all students equally.
For many years, black Americans
were treated differently from white
Americans. Black children could not
attend the same schools or use the
same drinking fountains that white
children used.
In the 1950s and 60s, thousands of Americans worked together
to change these unfair laws. One of the leaders of this
movement was a dedicated minister named Martin Luther
King, Jr. Each year we celebrate his birthday and remember the
struggles and sacrifices he made so that the United States of
America truly could be a land of equal opportunity for all.
Standards Link: History: Students understand the importance of individual action and
character and explain how heroes from the recent past make a difference in others' lives.
