Every January we celebrate the life of a great man, Martin Luther King who fought for civil rights. He believed that all Americans should be treated fairly, no matter what their skin colors were.

Dr. King was born in 1929 in Atlanta. Because he was black, he could not go to the same schools as white children. Black Americans also had to use separate restrooms, restaurants, theaters and swimming pools in some states.

Dr. King thought this was wrong. He was a Christian minister(牧師) who worked for equal rights for black people. He helped organize protests to change those unfair laws.

It was a hard fight. Dr. King was attracted and arrested(逮捕) many times. But more and more Americans grew to understand that it was wrong to treat black people differently from white people.

In 1963, Dr. King led many people in a march to Washington, D. C. where there he gave his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. He said people should be judged by their hearts, not by their skin colors. His efforts helped bring about new laws to create equal rights for all Americans.

The third Monday of January is a holiday to celebrate the life of Martin Luther King. We should respect his courage in working to improve the lives of so many people.

Do you want to know something about chil­dren in Africa(非洲)? What do they do for fun every day? Find out here:

Education

School is expensive for many African children. Lots of families don’t have money to buy school uniforms or ex­ercise books even though they don't have to pay for school.

For those who can go to school , they have a lot to learn. Some take two language clas­ses: English or French, and their first language. There are also some other subjects. Chores take up much of children's time after school. They have to get water and fire­wood for the family every day. Also there's clean­ing, washing and helping Mum with the meal.

Sports are very popular there. Children can make goals with twigs (嫩樹(shù)枝)and their own footballs with plastic and bits of string (繩子). They play in the country and the streets of old towns. There're many football teams for teenagers in Africa.
