I want to see the movie Selma that goes into detail about an important march with Martin Luther King Jr. I honestly only know the little I learned in school, and like all people from different parts of the world, know more about my history, Russian and Jewish, more than the details of this era in American history. What I do know is I have deep respect, admiration, and view him as a visionary, wise man and leader. I do know that Jewish people were right along side African Americans, and that Dr. King was a supporter of Israel.
Today my kids had no school, and luckily a birthday party in the park. They both got face painting and had a great time. My baby was with my husband, so it was nice to hang with the families of my son's friends in school. I did have work today, so I dropped them off at their Savta's house, my mother in law, and actually had a great day.
I am grateful for my kids being friendly, social, enjoying meeting new people and making new friends. My son was the first boy to get face painted, and the rest followed. It was a double birthday party for a boy and a girl who are friends and their birthdays are a few days apart. May my kids always lead in accepting everyone they meet, and making people feel they can do anything.
I just ran across across the coolest MLK post ever,
