Love and Faith
Introduction
In partnership with Beacon Press, we’ve created a series of six lessons as a companion to A Time to Break Silence: The Essential Works of Martin Luther King, Jr., for Students. This lesson, Love and Faith, introduces students to the music and poetry of the modern African-American Freedom Struggle and challenges them to create their own creative works.
