  • Things to do

Make Dr. King Jr. proud by taking advantage of this opportunity to volunteer at the Brooklyn Children's Museum. There are several MLK programs running from January 13–15, and the museum could use extra sets of helping hands. Go and help the kiddos with art workshops and more activities that explore the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.
