Martin Luther King, Jr.


On our way home from school yesterday Uta was Martin Luther King, Jr. He told me that he had thrown out all his bad words, especially the word 'hate'. Instead, he said, he wants to use big powerful words like 'love'. And again today it wasn't Uta I picked up from school, but Martin Luther King, Jr. On the N train home this is what Dr. King told me about himself.

"I'm the one who makes everyone happy." 

"I'm the one who makes everyone be friends." 

"I teach bossy people how to be nice." 

"I teach all colors of people to play together."

"People throw confetti because everyone loves me."

"I like to wear a suit everyday."
