Extractions: "I have a Dream" Address delivered at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom Martin Luther King, Jr. I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. - Martin Luther King, Jr. During the last 1950's and early 60's mass demonstrations in many communities culminated in a march on August 28, 1963, that attracted more than 250,000 protesters to Washington, D. C. Addressing the marchers from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" oration.

Lesson Plan 1 The reading for lesson Plan 1 indicates that blacksmiths were a vital part know about colonial artisans, read the primary document and compare current events. http://www.nps.gov/cato/educ/les1.htm
Extractions: Lesson Plan #1- Economic Incentives for Industrial Development Teacher Background The reading for Lesson Plan #1 indicates that blacksmiths were a vital part of early communities. At least one town offered property as an enticement, hoping to attract a skilled and able blacksmith. The conditions, as presented, tell us that a centrally located blacksmith shop was beneficial to the community and that community officials believed the blacksmith's services would be needed indefinitely. Striking similarities exist between the offer made by the town of Derby to John Smith, and economic incentives offered by communities to modern corporations. Students will have the opportunity to think about what they already know about colonial artisans, read the primary document and compare current events. This will show how some basic economic strategies have remained constant through the centuries. Goal After comparing incentives offered to an 18 th century blacksmith with incentives offered to modern corporations, students will understand how economic strategies are used to encourage industrial and community growth. Objectives Show how attracting craftsmen/industries can improve the quality of life and enhance community growth.
