| Program description: | Join Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on The Road to Freedom. Incorporating the spiritual music that became the underscore of the civil rights movement, this production helps young people to recognize that they can change their world peacefully. Geared for students in grades 3-8, this presentational theater piece is ideal for Black History Month and is a perfect addition to any American History curriculum. From his first encounter with racism to his immortal speech delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King walks students through the experience of the civil rights movement. Students make discoveries with Dr. King as he encounters some of the great minds who fought for freedom before him: Henry David Thoreau, who introduced him to the concept of civil disobedience, and Mahatma Gandhi, who showed him that nonviolent resistance was the most powerful weapon in the fight for equality. This educational and inspiring production is available in January and February. The Road to Freedom is authorized by The King Center in Atlanta, GA. |
