Civil Rights: A Global Perspective

Moral leadership and character development in public schools is of paramount importance. One of the key reasons our organization exists is to support the local public school as the leadership training ground for our young people in values that make our world a better place for everyone. There is no better figure in American history than Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. to convey the timeless principles of love, non-violence, and justice. This course outlines these principles in a concise and dynamic way for the current generation of students, challenging them with taking their own responsibility for a more just and equitable world. We wholeheartedly affirm and endorse it! |
