On Friday we did this egg activity to help the kids understand diversity and the segregation in our history. I showed them the brown egg and the white egg. We talked about the similarities (they are both eggs, they both can roll, they are both an oval shape, etc.) and differences between the two. The only big difference being color. Then I cracked the two eggs, and we talked about how the yolk was the same on the inside. We had a wonderful discussion about how the eggs are like people. Dr. King knew that everybody was really alike and the only thing that was different was the color of our skin, so that’s why he thought that things were unfair. Even though we may look different, we are all on the same on the inside... we are all people!
