There is still time for children to participate in the Kids for King Education Initiative. The Kids for King Education Initiative is part of The Washington, D.C. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation, Inc..
There are three grade categories: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8, and Grades 9-12. Children are invited to write an essay, create a piece of art, or produce a short video expressing what they have learned about Dr. King’s ideals of Democracy, Justice, Love and Hope as well as how they plan to carry the legacy forward.
If the child’s essay, art, or video entry is selected, she/he will be recognized on a trip to Washington, D.C. accompanied by a legal guardian in the fall of 2010.
Visit www.KidsForKing.org for more information and an entry form. The deadline has been extended to April 30, 2010.
