Each year in January we commemorate the life of a tremendously important leader, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

 

It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought.  A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples.  A time to remember the message of change through nonviolence.

 

January 15, the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, signals the “kick-off” of the CTA Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund campaign!  We are asking the total CTA Family to participate in this important organizational program.  In 1968 after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., CTA and Student CTA (SCTA) established a living memorial in the form of a scholarship fund to aide members of ethnic minorities in preparing for teaching related careers in public education.
