Okay, so my club at my high school (it's an acceptance/equality club) is doing a tribute to MLK by putting on a week long event called "Acceptance Week". However instead of highlighting his achievements we decided to base the week upon acceptance, which is one of the major things that he stood for. BUT I NEED HELP THINKING OF ACTIVITIES! I've already found a quiz about bullying which would work, but that's only for 1 day. The activities must be very simple and quick because this is high school and, well, teacher get pissed easily if other things take place of their own class schedule. PLEASE, if you have ANY IDEAS, please respond!!! Thanks!

Accepting people goes beyond skin color. Figure out what and how you want to teach your fellow students and you figure out the different ways to teach.

Tolerance and having love for your fellow man go hand in hand in being the building blocks for accepting others. Let those two things be the theme of your week. I know, teaching people how to love and accept someone who is different or goes against their beliefs is hard but with patience, like MLK, it will happen.

Looking for ideas? Think of all of the things that MLK did and get inspiration from that. After all, this is the week to celebrate good.

Did you just happen to see the episode of Oprah where it involoved 64 high school students participation in a project to get to know their classmates? If you did, try going to her website and seeing if it's still up there and the activities they did.


I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize. My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for wha
