Martin Luther King

We always celebrate Martin Luther King Jr day on the third Monday of January every year.  Dr. King lived a life of service in dreams of a better community.  Does it really capture the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. day just sitting around and doing nothing?  To keep with the spirit of the day we should be spending it in service for the community.  To create change we must act.  Dr. King wanted to change things for the better of the community.  It only makes sense to honor him in doing the same.  For example you could work in a food bank, handing out food to the hungry. You could help build houses for the homeless.  You could even better your community by picking up trash beside the roads. There are many ways to better your community on Martin Luther King day.  Martin Luther king was a great man and deserved to be honored.  Spending the day in service is the best way to honor Dr. King.  I know that’s what I’m going to do.

Midnight Ride

  • Minutemen need to know that the regulars are coming 
  • In 1776 Revere Dawes and Prescott made the famous ride
  • Delivering news of the British arrival was the mission of the riders
  • Night time covered the riders tracks
  • In the middle of the night they made the ride to Lexington
  • Gruelling was the pace that the horses ran
  • Hanging lanterns signaled the riders
  • Two lanterns hung to signal riders in boats

 

  • Redcoats are coming! The redcoats are coming!
  • If the ride wasn’t made the British would have won
  • Dawes was the most successful and wasn’t captured
  • Escaping capture by the British Prescott was the only one to finish the ride
