Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, January 19, 2015

Dr. King advocated nonviolent resistance to overcome injustice and a

means of lifting racial oppression. He created change with organized Sit
-ins, marches, and peaceful demonstrations that highlighted issues of
inequality. Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, the
youngest person to ever receive this high honor. He followed in his
grandfather and father footsteps into the ministry to become a Baptist
minister. He was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4,
1968 at the age of 39, as he stood on the balcony of his hotel. On
Monday, January 20, 1986, in cities and towns across the country,
people celebrated the first official Martin Luther King Day which is the
only federal holiday commemorating an African-American.

Fairness: character for January

Play by the rules

Take turns and share

Be open-minded; listen to others

Dont take advantage of others

Dont blame others carelessly

Treat all people fairly

Talk about it at Home: Below are some suggested

questions to guide a family discussion on fairness.
Think of a time when you've taken unfair advantage of a
person or a situation, or when someone has taken unfair
advantage of you. Describe it. What was unfair about it?
How did it make you feel? What did you learn from the
experience?
How is fairness related to having respect for others? How is
it related to honesty? To being reliable? To being a good
citizen?
Describe an unfair situation in your community and what
you think should be done about it.
