CNN Encourages Students to Learn More about Dr. King

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, the student news section in CNN.com featured an "extra!" that features a brief summary of Martin's life, his achievements, and his death. CNN encourages those who read it to "Use this Extra! as a springboard for your students to discuss and research the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr."

I felt that that is a very good idea. I obviously can't discuss MLK to you all, but I can give you a few links that will help you learn more about him.
