Dr. Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. once said that “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” It is this sense of justice and King’s everlasting imprint on history that students at the Starrett Early Learning Center (SELC) learned about in class. Together they reflected on racial equality, the civil rights movement, and King’s many teachings.
On January 13th, students in each class sang songs and recited poetry a few days before MLK Day in commemoration of his impact on society. With the words “Let Freedom Ring,” the students performed for their friends and parents via Zoom.
“Let us speak and let us sing to honor Martin Luther King. The gentle wisdom that made him strong, with acts of peace we’ll carry on,” the children recited.
