Education World – John White
“The Seattle Times’ King pages are among the best online resources related to the famous civil rights leader. Those pages include a timeline of King’s life and the civil rights struggle. You’ll also find a photo tour of the civil rights movement, which includes images of Rosa Parks on the bus in Montgomery, students being escorted to school in Little Rock, “freedom riders” at a newly integrated lunch counter, and many others. In addition, several Times essays about King appear on the site. And you’ll find a cyber-conversation about King between two classes of third graders — one class in Kent, Washington, and the other in Birmingham, Alabama. A special page related to the Martin Luther King Day holiday includes a timeline of events that led to the creation of the holiday. The site includes links to lots of other King related information on the Internet as well as a study guide for teachers and students. While the Seattle Times provides one of the best online King collections, that site is by no means the only resource! You’ll find all kinds of King-related Internet resources for students across the grades.”(more)
