Happy MLK day!

Yesterday, Starshine asked me why we don't celebrate MLK day. I tried to explain that it's more like Veteran's or President's Day - more of a remembrance than a Christmas or 4th of July-like celebration.
Well, that did not appear to be a good reason to her. While I was at work, and she was home from school with M&M Dad, she crafted her own MLK family celebration, including festive banner and other decorations, a MLK trivia quiz during dinner (I'm proud to report M&M Dad and I tied at 7 of 8 correct), and ice cream sundaes for dessert.

She loved her class book on Harriet Tubman, and is currently working on her class biography project, where she picked Ruby Bridges. She has such passion and interest for learning about desegregation and the Civil Rights movement.

It was a wonderful MLK celebration.
