Listening and Learning: Innovating Education, Developing Character, and Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Contributed by Maurice “Mo” Green, Executive Director, Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation
Maurice Green describes the ways in which an essay by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., written while he was a student at Morehouse College, gave him a more expansive understanding of what education can and should do. As the superintendent of the Guilford County School District, Green successfully implemented programs that emphasized students’ character development alongside academic achievement.
