About

Students with King is The King Center’s flagship engagement platform for Elementary, Middle, and High School students. Offering a series of dynamic and inspirational programming, this initiative aims to empower teachers to bring the King Legacy into the classrooms while providing student-centered programming that supports literacy development, character-building, and social-emotional learning objectives. Through our core learning programs, students are introduced to the philosophy of Kingian nonviolence (what The King Center has coined Nonviolence365®) and gain important lessons about how to apply nonviolence in their immediate environments.

Programs

Reading Corner

The Reading Corner showcases quality children’s books featuring themes that reflect Dr. King’s philosophy of nonviolence and his vision of The Beloved Community. Through this live-streamed program, students and educators have an opportunity to hear books read directly from the authors and get a chance to interact with authors through a moderated questions and answers session.

Reading Corners occur on select Tuesdays with the noted exceptions during the King Holiday Observance Week.

Interactive Civil Rights Talks and Panels

Introduces students to the history of the American civil rights movement through those who lived it! Through this inspirational and interactive experience, students hear from and interact with extended members of the King Family, people who worked with and/or knew Dr. King and Mrs. King, participants from the civil rights movement, and other distinguished scholars and educators.
