April 4th Foundation Establishes Summer Study Program to Study the Legacy and Life's Work of Dr. Martin Luther King

High school juniors and seniors will have the opportunity to study the legacy and life's work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this summer.  The theme of the two-week program is "Footsteps, Tell the Story  ...  Pass It On."

 "In honor of Dr. King's assassination, we determined that the mission of the April 4th Foundation should expand beyond remembering and honoring his work to sharing it," said Johnson E. Saulsberry, Jr., founder of the April 4th Foundation.  "We adopted the mantra, 'Tell the Story  ...  Pass It On'.  The Footsteps program is our first endeavor to this end."

Over the course of two weeks, the Footsteps program will supplement the students' traditional school curriculum.  The April 4th Foundation seeks to develop each student's leadership potential by empowering each student with the knowledge of the historical persons, events and sacrifices that made their present situation in society possible.

The Footsteps program will be held in Memphis. on the campus of LeMoyne Owen College a HBCU. All interested students are encouraged to go to www.april4thfoundation.org for more information.
