Martin Luther King A Leader in Conflict Resolution Virtual Assembly Program for Grades K-8 Martin Luther King loved to read, and he loved to learn – and
was pretty good at football and shootin’ hoops, too. Though he struggled with
how to effectively resolve conflicts when he was young, as he grew older, the
gentle coaching of his parents and teachers, along with his own
self-education, led him to fully embrace the strategies of peaceful conflict resolution in every
facet of his life. He then applied
these strategies to lead a revolutionary change in America, which paved the
way for equal rights for everyone. His inspiring story will complement
conflict resolution strategies taught in schools today, helping students
better understand and practice the use of empathy, listening, respectfulness
and effective communication in resolving their own conflicts peacefully. FOR SHOW
