We started off the day reading a book about Martin Luther King Jr. We talked about our country's history, and that at one time, blacks and whites didn't have the same rights. We read how the mother of one of Martin's friends (a white friend) told Martin that he couldn't play with her son anymore because Martin was black. This happened when he was 6 years old. He could have been in Kindergarten.
We learned that Martin believed in peace, advocated loving your enemies, and wanted all people to be treated the same. This lead us into a discussion of the inauguration, and how amazing it is to have the first African-American president.
We ate bagged lunches in our classroom which was very fun. We then went to the theater to watch part of the inauguration with some of the other LS classes.
