While working on the new Martin Luther King Jr. Online Unit Study , I came across this quote from Martin Luther King Jr.
This quote resonates with me. Dr. King may have written it in 1947 in a context of racial tension, but his words are still powerful for 21st century learners. Critical thinking skills are crucial in the Information Age. We need to know how to process large amounts of information and discern fact from fiction. And when it comes down to it, character will get someone farther in life than any amount of intelligence.
Reading this wisdom piqued my curiosity and got me wondering what other wisdom Dr. King had for homeschoolers. Consider these quotes, my homeschoolin’ momma friend….
Which one resonates strongest with you? Comment below. I’d love to know what you’re thinking.

Love these quotes! Thanks for sharing.
Adding these quotes to my list of activities to do with my boys for MLK Jr. Day. The quote that resonates most with me is the “If you can’t fly…” Very encouraging reminder for a homeschool day with struggles! Thanks so much for sharing-I’m glad to have found this on The Homeschool Nook!
Hi Amy – I’m glad you found me on The Homeschool Nook! I am having my girls pick a quote and then create illustrated graphic (like the ones in the blog post). If you want to do the same, you can find out how in the last lesson of our Martin Luther King Jr. Online Unit Study. (You wouldn’t need to do the other lessons if you already have everything else planned). Link to study is in blog post.http://techiehomeschoolmom.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php#comments-form
What a fantastic list of fabulous quotes from an inspiring man! I took my girls to Atlanta this past summer and we visited the MLK visitors center. We were able to sit in the church pews where he was a minister and listen to one of his sermons playing throughout the church. The experience gave me chills! Thank you for sharing these at The Homeschool Nook this week!
What a great experience!
Amazing quotes! Thanks for sharing with #SocialButterflySunday! Hope to see you link up again this week 🙂
