Welcome to Litsy!

I mean, what do you say about what is arguably THE most famous speech in history? I appreciated Gorman's perspective provided in the forward, the significance to her and the role it played in her poetry reading. I feel like there's a point of view gained by reading the actual content of the speech that you cannot have just knowing that it exists and what it is about. 1/?

This is a biography about Martin Luther and his I have a Dream speech. He was an African American public speaker who spoke about a better future for his people. He talked about how one day they would get treated as real people instead of overlooked. He lead many group riot walks through the streets to make his presence known and know that he was not going to stop until his people were heard. He knew everyone was different and that made us unique.

Being from MetroDetroit, Michigan, #MittenLitten, it‘s cool to know that MLK first said his speech in Detroit before saying it in Washington DC.

“I Have a Dream” By Kadir Nelson is an extraordinary NF B book! This book has won two Caldecott awards and the Coretta Scott King Award! Amazing! This book is a fantastic DR or RA book on what MLK believed in. It is a great book to teach young students about Civil rights and can be used in a History Lesson as well. At the end of the book, it has the entire “I Have a Dream” speech by MLK! #ucflae3413su20

“free at last, free at last, free at last“

Love using picture books to bring history to life for kids.

Another amazing speech in history brought to the level of children through the media of picture books. I think something explained with pictures is much easier to grasp and I enjoyed this display of the speech.

“free at last, free at last, free at last“

this book was so cool. I think this book would make understanding Martin Luther way easier and they would enjoy it. the illustrations truly tell the story

my favorite part was the very last page were he says free at last and it has doves flying it Is just a beautiful representation

“Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!“

The illustrations in this book were very realistic looking. They also went along with the text of each page and the part of the speech that was being read.

This book was so interesting to me! It was Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have A Dream“ speech written into a children's book. This was a different way to read about this iconic speech, and I enjoyed it.

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

I loved the illustrations in this book! My birthday is on the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. day too. His speech is amazing.

I loved this book, it is Martin Luther King Jr's “I Have A Dream“ speech. He is a very important person in history and his speech is also an important part of history as well during the Civil Rights movement. He fought for equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantages and all victims of injustice through peaceful protest.

“This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the south with”

I enjoyed the illustrations of this book.

I enjoyed reading this story of MLK and how he inspired a nation to change. This story was really powerful and told the amazing story of MLK

This B, Caldecott Honor, would be great for a S. It was about the struggles of MLK and his life. It can be used in the classroom during Black History month for many reasons. A teacher can S to make it easier to relate for all students. UDL strategy 1.3 offer alternatives for visual information and ESOL 8 Use direct instruction align with the S by providing varying support. #LAE3414sp19

I immediately thought of 2 things when reading the prompt #ihaveadream.
1. The obvious is Martin Luther Luther Jr's famous speech
2. The song I Have A Dream by one of my favorite bands, Abba

Two months before the March on Washington, there was the March for Freedom in Detroit where over 125,000 people marched down Woodward Avenue, and Martin Luther King Jr. first gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. #IHaveADream #ANewChapter

No reading time today because I spent my day in Washington DC being a counter protester - standing up for love and equality and against the alt-right and racism. Everything was peaceful where I was and we outnumbered them by thousands. Education and reading can end ignorance.

• 50 years ago today Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. We still have his dream, and we still continue the fight... •

A reading list for little Littens.

#mlk #martinlutherkingjr

These are all books I've used with my students to learn about this amazing man. #inspiredbymlk #readjanuary

I bought this book for my son a few years back and I was really grateful that it came with the recordings of his speech. He has yet to hear the whole thing but one day soon, he will and we'll discuss what his words meant then and now.

We have to remember that he was more than this one speech. That he was a complex man with a message who was taken before his time.

Happy Birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., born January 15, 1929. May your memory and your dream always serve as an inspiration and as a reminder of how far we have to go...
