MLK and Oreos (Martin Luther King that is)



I wanted my children to have a greater understanding of MLK day and our history regarding racial segregation. For family home evening we watched the Disney movie, "Perfect Harmony" which I thought was wonderful. Aside from the three older boys walking around all week singing, "All we like sheep,... have gone astray -aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaa!" they really had an eye opener. They had no idea there were once issues of slavery and segregation. We threw in a little US history prior to the movie. We sat in front of the TV with our glasses of milk lined up on a cookie sheet catching drips (or on Dad's lap), dunked oreos and soaked in a little appreciation for MLK. I'd recommend it.
