There a great picture book about him that your princess might like. It's called "Martin's Big Words," written by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Bryan Collier. It starts with MLK as a boy, and continues through his life and work, and deals sensitively with his death. It also includes short quotations from his speeches. We just love it.

Eyes on the Prize is such a fantastic series. As an African American Studies minor at USC, and now a teacher, I've watch the series numerous times. I am in amazement of the struggles people experienced such a short time ago in America. Where would we be without all the freedom fighters?

One of the things I think we can do is to continue to show our students–even our little ones–great pieces like 'The Eyes on the Prize.' I showed parts of it every single year I taught 10th grade during the speech and language unit when I taught English and tried to fit pieces in here and there for the 9th grade, too.
