"Endurance is more than pacing up and down within the cell of our circumstance;
it is not only acceptance of the things allotted to us, it is...magnifying what is allotted to us."

From the Mouths of Babes



I asked my 7-year-old and five-year-old, along with a couple of their friends, what they know about Martin Luther King Jr.  Here's what they had to say:

He was a king.
He gave a great speech.
He was shot in the leg.
He went to jail.
He got upset because only white people could drink from the good drinking fountains.
He had a dream that white people would be nice to black people.
He made a difference in the world.

Not all of their information is accurate, but they got the main point right.
