Martin Luther King Influences Change in Mass Public Schools

Martin Luther King Jr.’s lessons defy time and with Haiti as a huge issue in the world Deval Patrick, governor of Massachusetts, urged for a new law in which will improve Massachusetts urban schools. Patrick joined top legislative leaders at Boston Children’s Museum to sign an education bill that allows more charter schools in struggling districts and gives superintendents more latitude in overhauling low-performing schools. The bill, in hopes, will allow all students, no matter what their background, to have a good education. Massachusetts wants its residents to resonate King’s belief that one’s service to others should never die. Boston held many memorials for King all over the state at places such as Hynes Convention Center, Faneuil Hall, Dorchester and The Children’s Museum. Most of these gatherings around the state were used to urge youth to live by King’s lessons. One girl from Dorchester said. “Teens need to understand that they have the power to make King’s legacy real today.” Equality is still an issue that needs to be dealt with in all aspects of our country today.
