Teaching Young Readers About Nonviolent Protests

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Young readers likely have had many questions about the protests in so many American cities this summer. One helpful resource is my title Martin Luther King, Jr., from the “My First Biography” series. It targets beginning readers with an introduction to the Civil Rights leader who demonstrated the power of nonviolent protests. You can also find many other teaching resources at the NEA’s EdJustice “Black Lives Matter at School—Resources” page.
