The We Can Reading Program

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Today, we honor the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was the foremost leader in the #CivilRightsMo...vement of the 1950s and 1960s. Though they did not get the same recognition as Dr. King, the leaders of the #NCNW worked tirelessly to improve the lives of all citizens of the United States, regardless of race, religion, class, or gender. #MaryMcLeodBethune, #DorothyBouldingFerebee, #VivianCarterMason, and #DorothyIreneHeight (who was actually part of the Big Six planning the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom with Dr. King), all fought to end discrimination through their roles as NCNW Presidents. #MondaysWithMrsBethune #ImbibeIt #History #MLKDay #MartinLutherKingJr #MLK #MLKDayOfService Mrs. Vivian Carter Mason (seated, wearing glasses), third president of NCNW pictured with Rev.
