Today’s designation of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day reminds us to take his memory a step further. It’s more of a call to action, for as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., asks in this speech to junior high students at a Philadelphia school, What is Your Life’s Blueprint? As you’ll see, he believed there was a three-part structure to think about.
The themes of social justice for all and excellence in learning are as fresh today as ever. Watch this speech with students sometime this week. Then ask them, “What is your life’s blueprint?”
