Childrens Museum Houston celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

HOUSTON – This week is a celebration of the life of one of America’s greatest leaders, Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King was an advocate for peace, and social justice during a time of great tension, and difficulty in the United States, and his message of justice, tolerance and diversity is still relevant today.

MLK had a dream for humanity, and Children’s Museum Houston is sharing in that dream with special activities to continue learning, and honoring Dr. King.

ON-GOING ACTIVITIES

‍- Dream Drawings: Dreams can inspire stories and art; create both with a unique work of art in the style of Jean Dubuffet.

‍- Dream Art: What are your dreams for your family, friends or future? Use them to create a colorful cloud to display at home!

‍- Peace Doves: Create the world symbol of peace and write about what peace means to you in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
