Design a complete lesson plan for an activity to commemorate the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. The topic of the lesson should in some way encompass the Civil Rights movement and illuminate the condition of African-Americans that engendered it.
While your lesson plan can be inspired by a plan of another teacher or online source, your plan must be original, authentic, and reflect YOUR work. If you use another source in the preparation of your plan, you must reference that source in your plan.
