Tough Minds and Tender Hearts: Building Martin Luther King's "Beloved Community" Through Service-Learning

This handy reflection journal distills highlights of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life into eight chapters, with an emphasis on how aspects of his life's work and writings relate to service-learning. Readers come to understand seminal people, readings, and periods of his life that led to some of his most memorable speeches. Sets of reflection questions follow each chapter and take the reader first back to the text, then to connections with individual experiences. A range of writing prompts and suggestions for reflection through drawing and other forms of expression are included. Suitable for high school- and college-age students, but also for teachers and those working in community-based settings as it offers a "curriculum" for service experiences outside of school.
