Last week, we celebrated Martin Luther King Day. This day celebrates the birthday of our most well known Civil Rights leader. He modeled the movement off of the peaceful demonstrations of Mohandas Ghandi. This is the greatest legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. Non-violence serves as the guide for all later movements in the United States that seek to change some aspect of our government.
It is still extremely important for us to learn about the Civil Rights Movement because it demonstrates how a group of people, committed to an idea, can change an aspect of our government. Even you, the student at Collins Career Center, can change anything about your government. It takes dedication, teamwork, and above all the peaceful measures that reflect the values of our country.
