I had my 5 year old granddaughter

[burnbaby]

for the weekend and Saturday night she started talking about a man who spread love around, she called him "Luther King" took me a second, and then I said Martin Luther King? she said yes that's his name. With tears in her eyes, which surprised me, she continued about how this man spread love and because of him, (she names two names of classmates who were of color) I can sit next to "name" and "name" at school and hug them while being their friend.

There was so much detail for me to add, but I said yes Martin Luther King jr. was a man of love. He wanted us all to love each other. I suppose I could have added more, but prior to that conversation she was telling me I was old and had wrinkles. Didn't want to go down the old lady road with her again

I just thought it was interesting to see how children are being taught about Martin Luther King jr..
