King for Kids
School and Family Edition
1 of 1 copy available
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is known for being one of the greatest orators of the 20th Century, and perhaps in all of American history. In the 1950s and 1960s, his words led the Civil Rights movement and helped change society. Though his speeches refer to the conditions of the 1960s, his assertions that nonviolent protest is the key to democracy and that all humans are equal, are as timeless and powerful today as they were nearly forty years ago. To honor Dr. King, this edition includes Dr. King's recordings, abridged for children, and is commemorated with selected art from our nation's own talent.

Gr 4 Up-This CD features recordings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s speeches abridged for children, with introductions that provide historical background by such notables as Coretta Scott King, Senator Edward Kennedy, and Rosa Parks. An introduction by Andrew Young offers information about Dr. King and his philosophy regarding peace and equal rights. The CD consists of eight excerpts from two speeches: "A Call to Conscience" and "A Knock at Midnight." This collection will be of considerable interest to school and public libraries. The bonus PDF file includes photos, a timeline, letters, discussion questions, and other information collected from "The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr." (Hatchette, 1998), edited by Clayborne Carson. Audio quality varies because the recordings were compiled from many sources. The track listing inside the case is not accurate, but this does not detract from the value of the production."April Mazza, Wayland Public Library, MA"Copyright 2008 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
