Celebrating and Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Exploration and Extra Credit Options

Good Morning! I sincerely apologize for the delay-- so the deadline is extended until Thursday for some choices. Carefully read this list of activities--some of them virtual. Select an option that is best for you.  Events that require registration and logging on may gain more extra credit than watching a film or speech segment. Nevertheless, pick what interests you! Please write notes and at least a page reaction: What is the issue? What and how are the issues in the videos still relevant TODAY?
