Mission Moment: Lesson from Dr. King

Miss Jess was reading a book to her two year old class on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. After she was finished she asked, "What did you learn from this book?"

One bright eyed girl immediately said "To respect other people."

"That's right," said Miss Jess. "We are to respect everyone, including yourself. It doesn't matter if you are white, brown, purple, black, pink, or green, everyone deserves respect. Because when you respect someone you show them you love them and you love yourself. I want everyone of you to give yourself a big hug and remember what Dr. King taught us."

It was quite a site to see fifteen two year old children hugging themselves, smiling, and saying "Thank you Dr. King."
