WHO IS YOUR HERO?

Martin Luther King Day celebrates a hero to people who believe in civil rights. These people feel that all humans should be treated as equals, regardless of their color, religion, sexual orientation, age, etc. Rev. King stood for justice for all, and he took non-violent action to fight unfair treatment for African-Americans. He led the March on Washington in 1964 (50 years ago) and made his famous "I Have a Dream" speech that day, but he did so much more. Read a biography of him online or in print and you will learn why he deserves his day of celebration.


YOU have heroes in your life. You look up to people who have done things which you think of as heroic. These are unselfish people who have done things to make people's lives better, safer, healthier, more satisfying. Such a personal hero may be a famous person or a close family member. Why not write about your hero? Who is he or she? Click on the word "Comments" above and type a few words which tell us who this person is and why he or she deserves to be called a hero. We are not looking for super-heroes. Superman, Batman, Iron Man, Flash and Mighty Mouse are not real. However, there are actual people whom you know who make your life better because they care about you. Here's your chance to say "Thank you" to one of them. Click on "Comments" and write about that person now and then click "Submit."
