Week of January 19th
Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and social activist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. Inspired by advocates of nonviolence such as Mahatma Gandhi, King sought equality for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and victims of injustice through peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind watershed events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, which helped bring about such landmark legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a U.S. federal holiday since 1986.
Clash of the Titans!!!
Our beloved Faith Family Eagles will be traveling to Waxahachie to face off against the14th rank team in Class 3A - Life Mustangs. Both teams come into this game undefeated in district play and this, just like all other Life games, will be a heated battle. Faith Family, the reigning district champions from last year, is currently ranked 5th in Class 3A and is looking to uphold that ranking after tonight's game. If you plan on going, you better get there early because it's going to be a barn burner!!! LET'S GO EAGLES!!!
