Black History Month

Martin Luther King Jr. in his home library.
February is the start of Black History Month. This month is set aside to acknowledge African Americans that fought, and taught for a better future for my generation as well as others. Of these African Americans I would like to isolate Martin Luther King Jr. There are tons of books about this leader. His role in the civil rights movement will be forever etched into history books. Not only was he a phenomenal leader for civil rights but he was also an advocate for promoting education among African Americans.
 
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.
