With Apologies to Dr. King

We had completed a unit on Dr. Martin Luther King. I was moving around the room, admiring the greeting cards the second graders had made for Dr. King. "Very nice Johnny" I said as I passed by the desk of the 7 year old towhead and pointed to his rendition of Dr. King. "Thanks" he said proudly. I commented "Johnny, you should give him hair." As I passed around the classroom a second time I was startled to see a shock of blonde hair pasted to the head of the drawing of Dr. King on the card. No explanation was needed as Johnny proudly looked up at me, a chunk of blonde hair missing from the center of his bangs.
