    Hope, peaceful engagement, education, and hard work. #sschat
  • GeoJo22 Jan 16 @ 7:11 PM EST
    A1 For me, it is his fight against injustice using non-violent civil disobedience. So important to change hearts and minds. #sschat
  • ushistorysage Jan 16 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A1 - Huge question-his legacy is more than monumental-we have to keep dreaming, sacrifice 4 right, speak out, see where we could be #sschat
  • MrsRicklis Jan 16 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A1 That we have to keep fighting for equality & fairness for all people everywhere, persistence #SSchat
  • MrPereiraCA Jan 16 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A1: That doing what's right may cause problems but what's right far outweighs what's safe. #sschat
  • shakealia Jan 16 @ 7:13 PM EST
    A1: King's legacy is complicated. In many ways, it's hard to understand his legacy apart from narrative created by SS curriculum. #sschat
  • jcaseydesign Jan 16 @ 7:13 PM EST
    A1 Society can choose a better path forward when it it allows itself to face truth. I need to face truth & choose better paths too. #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jan 16 @ 7:13 PM EST
    A1 I respect the planning and patience that Dr King exercised in his leadership. #sschat Also learning more about his broader social goals

    In reply to @MrsRicklis

    A1 The work of the multitude of Americans who have struggled to make the US better & what 1 powerful leader can do. #sschat
  • dankrutka - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:13 PM EST
    A1: MLK's legacy is about doing what's right when it's not easy. Fighting against injustice and with those who are marginalized. #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jan 16 @ 7:14 PM EST
    Difficult, but really important ... and we can gradually *redefine* that curriculum with other #sschat members!

  • JeremyDBond Jan 16 @ 7:15 PM EST
    Hi, parent from CT joining in. #sschat
  • philpuzz Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A1: Dr. King's legacy to me means we each can bring change through persistent non-violent means; #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
    ...and more than just 1 or 2 lines of that speech! #sschat
    In reply to @ushistorysage
  • kmarshparkedu Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
    Well said! Being an upstander is so important. #sschat
    In reply to @TrishKing6
  • historycomics Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
    BTW - totally stealing Q1 to ask my students to write about when we are finished. Will have others answer same about Lewis at al #sschat
  • classroomtools Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
    True. He was organizing the Poor Peoples March on Wash. when he was killed; as well as being outspoken on Vietnam. #sschat
    In reply to @historycomics
  • DrLaGarrettKing Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
    Q2: What are some misconceptions about King’s ideology? #sschat

    In reply to @MizzouEducation
  • MsFurnas Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A1: That change isn't fast. Love is always the answer for hate. #sschat
  • JeremyDBond Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A1) King's legacy demonstrates that legacy is popular after the fact. It's considered a threat while you're building it. #sschat
  • kennethcdavis Jan 16 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A1 Remember the King program was 3 parts: don’t overlook economic justice and end of war -Vietnam especially #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jan 16 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A2 I have [white] Ss who say/write things like "Dr King ended racism in America" or "fixed civil rights for Americans" #sschat #notdoneyet
  • kmarshparkedu Jan 16 @ 7:17 PM EST
    Yes! A great read. Begs the Q: has King's legacy been whitewashed? #sschat
    In reply to @kennethcdavis, @nytopinion
  • drs116 Jan 16 @ 7:17 PM EST
    A1: #MLK legacy more than words he spoke. Actions can ==> results. If you want change have to be willing to sacrifice to achieve it #sschat
  • shakealia Jan 16 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A2: There is often confusion about his stance on nonviolence, civil disobedience, and active resistance. #sschat
  • MrPowley Jan 16 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A2 from what I understand he was concerned about economic issues by the end of his life. More difficult to get people to recognize #sschat
  • kennethcdavis Jan 16 @ 7:18 PM EST
    When we build monuments, we risk sanitizing the story, making it safe. #sschat
    • kmarshparkedu Jan 16 @ 7:17 PM EST
      Yes! A great read. Begs the Q: has King's legacy been whitewashed? #sschat
      In reply to @kennethcdavis, @nytopinion
  • dankrutka - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A2: King is sanitized by media, his radicalism is overlooked, & his criticism of white moderates is rarely mentioned. #sschat
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A2) That he was only the "safe" King endorsed by those who want to use him to support particular political/social goals. #sschat
  • shakealia Jan 16 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A2: Erroneous narrative that Dr. King would permit injustices to continue if it meant remaining nonviolent. That's inaccurate. #sschat
  • JeremyDBond Jan 16 @ 7:19 PM EST
    where do you think they get that? #sschat

    • JeremyDBond Jan 16 @ 7:16 PM EST
      A1) King's legacy demonstrates that legacy is popular after the fact. It's considered a threat while you're building it. #sschat
  • TeacherTidbits1 Jan 16 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A1 That everyone can make a difference, it does not matter your circumstance. We all have a role. #sschat
  • classroomtools Jan 16 @ 7:19 PM EST
    Yes, very concerned. That is why he was in Memphis when he was killed - supporting striking sanitation workers. #sschat
    In reply to @MrPowley
  • ushistorysage Jan 16 @ 7:20 PM EST
    A2-He was the "reasonable" voice of the Civil Rights Movement; his ideas on economics, reforming poor #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jan 16 @ 7:20 PM EST
    Really good question! Probably from non-controversial happy-ending kid books they read in earlier grades (I teach 8th) #sschat
    In reply to @JeremyDBond
  • GeoJo22 Jan 16 @ 7:20 PM EST
    A2 Few realize he was influenced by the work of Gandhi. That Gandhi's people came to help during the Montgomery bus boycott. #sschat
  • TeacherTidbits1 Jan 16 @ 7:21 PM EST
    A2 The myth that non-violence is passive, quite the contrary it is an active and disruptive force that simply cannot be ignored. #sschat
  • MrPereiraCA Jan 16 @ 7:21 PM EST
    A2 While we should not engage in violence, standing up to injustice may lead 2 violence. "It's gonna cause problems" defense=lame. #sschat
  • kmarshparkedu Jan 16 @ 7:21 PM EST
    A2: King's views regarding protest exist on a spectrum, which is something I don't think many recognize #sschat
  • ushistorysage Jan 16 @ 7:21 PM EST
    And Thoreau #sschat
    • GeoJo22 Jan 16 @ 7:20 PM EST
      A2 Few realize he was influenced by the work of Gandhi. That Gandhi's people came to help during the Montgomery bus boycott. #sschat
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:22 PM EST
    A1) Had another thought - Dr. King shows us that leadership & ideas are not static but constantly evolving, adapting. #sschat
  • historycomics Jan 16 @ 7:22 PM EST
    A2 some students think he was a coward at first. No - I would be the coward by striking and destroying the movement. Mad respect! #sschat
  • DrLaGarrettKing Jan 16 @ 7:22 PM EST
    Q3: What is our responsibility as educators in advancing King’s ideology? How do we hold each other accountable? #sschat
  • JeremyDBond Jan 16 @ 7:22 PM EST
    A2) That the "peaceful" part of protest was the most important part. That any protest other than what #DrKing did isn't "peaceful." #sschat
  • Chucktaft Jan 16 @ 7:23 PM EST
    Sorry to miss #sschat on a great day - posted a little bit about him earlier and will dive into the archives https://t.co/DotYVD8Wi9
  • historycomics Jan 16 @ 7:23 PM EST
    A2 also - huge one - that everyone in the movement agreed with him - not so simple #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jan 16 @ 7:23 PM EST
    A3 pssst...holding other Ts accountable is one of the 3rd rails in education! #sschat Also one of the worst kept secrets in every school
  • MsKoriGreen Jan 16 @ 7:23 PM EST
    A2 agree with many here - keeping the "I have a dream" and hiding the uncomfortable questions/positions he took. #sschat
  • ushistorysage Jan 16 @ 7:24 PM EST
    A3-Teach MLK and African American history as we teach our standards; not isolated, separated; we need to integrate our instruction #sschat

  • CHitch94 - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:24 PM EST
    A3) Not to be afraid to get into these complexities. Share sources & situations that force Ss to grapple with diff facets & views. #sschat
  • classroomtools Jan 16 @ 7:24 PM EST
    A3 As educators, it is our responsibility to seek out, share and help students evaluate the truth about King; striking down myth. #sschat
  • kmarshparkedu Jan 16 @ 7:24 PM EST
    A3: First, we need to read more from him, not just the same speech(es) over and over again. So many good videos available, too! #sschat
  • dankrutka - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:24 PM EST
    A3: 1st, we need to teach MLK accurately & fully. 2nd, we need to do our part starting by upstanding for margnizlied in our schools. #sschat
  • MsFurnas Jan 16 @ 7:24 PM EST
    A3: Interesting Q. Many times I think teachers are sheepish. Timid to step up to problems. Afraid to upset districts. #sschat
  • TeacherTidbits1 Jan 16 @ 7:24 PM EST
    A3.1 This tough, I think by showing students that non-violence is more powerful than hate and violence even if it seems slow. #sschat
  • classroomtools Jan 16 @ 7:25 PM EST
    And in the larger society. #sschat
    In reply to @dankrutka
  • shakealia Jan 16 @ 7:25 PM EST
    #howoppressionworks It waters down the ideology of a radical activist until its palpable to the elite class. #sschat
    In reply to @dankrutka
  • jcaseydesign Jan 16 @ 7:25 PM EST
    A2 That he was only interested in a platform. As a minister he was also concerned about issues of the heart. #sschat
  • MrPereiraCA Jan 16 @ 7:25 PM EST
    A3 I need to do better. Get too caught up in getting them through tests. I like the idea of accountability to each other. #sschat
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:25 PM EST
    I think this is a really important point. To do otherwise is to continue to marginalize. #sschat
    In reply to @ushistorysage
  • ushistorysage Jan 16 @ 7:25 PM EST
    We're afraid to been as promoting anything but status quo but as SS teachers, it's part of our responsibility #sschat

  • sittingpretty61 Jan 16 @ 7:25 PM EST
    I think we need to listen to all views rather than tell, speak to and understand. Acceptance is the part of social change #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jan 16 @ 7:26 PM EST
    1st: that must start in early grades, which requires careful & targeted SocSt teacher prep #sschat 2nd: well yeah, absolutely :)

    A3: Success of Civ Rights Movement inspired & continues to inspire protest movements everywhere #sschat

    A3 Many times Ts worry about biting the hand that feeds them(understandably) by leading through example we can help lead the timid. #sschat
  • kmarshparkedu Jan 16 @ 7:26 PM EST
    A3: As a white T I need to be comfortable in talking about structural systems of oppression that existed then AND now. #sschat
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:26 PM EST
    If Ss are dissecting speeches & other sources to get at these thorny ?s, will probably do fine on assessments. #sschat

    A1 His legacy's vast, but he helps me to remember the importance of social justice & it can be carried out powerfully & nonviolently #sschat

    We *never* get his humor. I grew up in super-white Maine. Vids of MLK showed an angry [scary] black man. That impacts you. #sschat

    A7: Depts need to be intentional about how to talk/teach about King. Needs to be a united front. Training and resources important #sschat
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:55 PM EST
    Yes. These images should give Ss something to relate to as they are STUDENTS. #sschat

    A7: This is a day for the justice-oriented citizen to reflect on her work and take action!!! #sschat
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:56 PM EST
    Think this is such an important topic. I'm in indp & online school so no PLN or anything. Is this something PLNs do? #sschat

    A7: it's relevant today...it's not history. Democracy is hard work & takes constant attention #sschat

    I should've said PLCs I think instead of PLN. #sschat

    A7: Need to address at every grade level: how does King fit into global, national, local level? #sschat
  • dankrutka - Moderator Jan 16 @ 7:57 PM EST
    A7: We should teach MLK as complex, justice-oriented, & imperfect. & we must teach the many others who fought/fight for Civil Rights #sschat
  • MrPowley Jan 16 @ 7:57 PM EST
    I've used these. The narratives are moving and let modern Ss get a feel for what it was like #sschat
