Every year my school participates in special events to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on MLK day in January. This year I was honored with the opportunity to paint a 20' x 40' mural of his image in our school's cafeteria. Because of these experiences, I have further learned about the incredible work and sacrifice he made to bring about Civil Rights. It is an honor to write about him in a poem.
