The Sunday before Martin Luther King Day my 5 yr old charge asked me as I was tucking him into bed if he was going to school the following day. I told him no because it was a holiday. I explained who Martin Luther king was…..that he lived a long time ago, he was a smart , brave, very important man and that many people came to hear him speak. He then asked me what he looked like so I quickly pulled up a photo of Dr. King on my phone and showed him. He looked at the photo then said “I know him.” I replied “Really?” He then told me that he had seen that man on TV and that he wished he could have met him. I smiled and was so happy that I was the first person to introduce him to Martin Luther King.
Lord’s legacy included impacts on the Black Consciousness Movement and Civil Rights Movement in South Africa.King’s work was refered to by and served as a motivation for South African pioneer Albert Lutuli, another dark Nobel Peace prize champ who battled for racial equity in his nation.
