Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

By:  Dasia Burr

This past Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. day. If you do not know him, then this is what you need to remember: he helped to stop segregation. If he didn’t stop the segregation then the things that you see now like all kinds of kids from different cultures and skin color playing together, it wouldn’t be like that right now.  Martin Luther King Jr. he made black and white join together, as it should be. Hopefully you had time to stop and remember him on this federal holiday. His birthday was on January 15th, and we celebrate this very special man on the 3rd Monday of January.
