Since the U.S. celebrates Martin Luther King Day on January 15, I thought it appropriate this week to give you and your students the audiobook story of MLK from the brave beginning to the tragic end. I hope you find inspiration in the life of Dr. King, not because he was a man without flaws, but because he courageously sought to undo one of America's greatest flaws! (The flaw of racial discrimination.) I hope you enjoy learning more about this American icon from The Mystery of History Volume IV (Lesson 71).
