TV Review: Nick News - Martin Luther King - Page 3

Part of: The NUBIANO Exchange

Nick News: Martin Luther King closes with Ellerbee's signature call to action: "The Revered Martin Luther King, Jr. pointed out that many of the ugly pages of history have been forgotten. Certainly, the oppression of black Americans was one of the ugliest pages, which is why we want you to remember it. And to remember a man named Martin Luther King, Jr. And to work for justice." Using the words of Dr. King, Ellerbee urges all viewers to "[u]se time creatively and forever realize that the time is always right to do right."


The Final Word

Nick News: Martin Luther King (with Linda Ellerbee) strives to empower young Americans to be the change that they want to see in the world, by letting them know that there is no need to wait! Change can start today, because one person can make a difference. The life of Dr. King reminds us of this.

History has shown us, time and time again, that real change can come. Change will not always be easy. And change will not always come quickly. But if change is desired, one must be willing to work hard for it.

The ultimate legacy of Dr. King has been left for us to decide, and there lies a power, within each and every one of us, that can be used as a catalyst for change. This power tugs at our hearts daily — begging to be used. How — and when — will you use it?
