As is well known, Martin Luther King Jr. was a fervent advocate for racial and equal rights and is regarded as the most significant civil rights leader in the country. Through nonviolent protests, marches, boycotts, and moving speeches, he tirelessly reminded us that all people are equal, regardless of our skin color, opinions, or backgrounds. Youngsters may find all of these confusing and might call them "big words". Introduce to them the advocacy of MLK through this fun and engaging activity of painting with different shades of skin tone to show them that diversity creates beauty.
