Quotations by:
King, Martin Luther
Yes, I am personally the victim of deferred dreams, of blasted hopes, but in spite of that I close today by saying I still have a dream, because, you know, you can’t give up in life. If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
Martin Luther King, Jr.() American clergyman, civil rights leader, social activist, preacher

This week’s CLP Current Event acknowledges the enormous contribution and sacrifice of American hero Martin Luther King, Jr. by weaving the DACA controversy with MLK’s legacy. In doing so, CLP recognizes that this week’s coverage has a pro-DACA slant. We like to think that we, too, can “bend toward justice.”
Brought to teachers by Susie Marcus, CLP consultant, with CLP staff.
As Dr. King said, the resolution to this debate must be that we judge people based upon the content of their character, rather than their race, religion, national origin, or financial means.
