See a class of young students as they begin a school project inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and learn to follow his example as he dealt with adversity and never lost hope that a future of equality and justice would soon be a reality. As times change Dr. King's example remains encouraging a new generation of children to take charge and change the world . . . to be a King.
