King-sized enthusiam for MLK Day
Sixth-graders eager to learn of civil rights leader
Bright and early, Justin Taylor’s sixth-grade class at Crystal River Middle School entered the classroom eager and ready to learn about a man who changed civil rights in America and broke barriers that led to major changes for blacks in this country.
Before playing a couple of videos for the children, Taylor attempted to get a feel for what his students already knew about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“He gave a speech about freedom,” one student said.
“He started a boycott against the buses,” another one stated.
“He didn’t get treated right because he was black,” another student added.
All these statements are true, Taylor explained to the class.
