Virtual Presentations

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said about education - “The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.”

Area organizations have created MLK related videos to educate and enrich the community.  Please click the click the links below to view these broadcasts.
