WOLOF
MLK, Jr DAY:
The KiSWAHILI word for
STRATEGY is MKAKATI.
Martin Luther King, Jr. chose
NON-VIOLENCE not because
he was scared to fight but as a
STRATEGY to expose the
viciousness of our oppressor. He
used the media to show the world
how violent, unfair and
uncivilized JIM CROW was
against Black people. PLEASE
help your student become more
STRATEGIC in how they
complete their homework, learn
new concepts and manage their
time. Turn their struggle into a
strategy!! Asante
