ABSTRACT This is the second in a series of six kits that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is publishing to help teach through stamps the history of the 20th Century and the people, places, and events that have shaped this nation during the past 100 years. Each kit is designed as a complete and independent unit. This kit, covering the decade of the 1960s, contains: (1) welcome letter from the USPS;(2) ten teacher's lesson cards;(3) one "Resource Guide";(4) thirty "topic cards";(5) ballot (with return envelope);(6) student magazine; and (7) poster. Kits are distributed in a kit storage box, with multiple copies of some materials. On the basis of the ballots, the USPS intends to issue a limited edition of 15 commemorative stamps celebrating the decade of the 60s. Subsequent kits will gradually cover the entire 20th century.

May 1, 1998

Dear Teacher:

Peace, love, flower power. A man on the . Martin Luther King's dream. The sixties were a remarkable time in our nation's history and the United States Postal Service is pleased to have you and your students join us in commemorating the people and events that shape our country.

The Celebrate The CenturyTM Educational Series not only teaches children about history, it enables them to become a part of it. Just as the 1964 Voting Rights Act truly granted the right to vote to all Americans, the Celebrate The CenturyTM program opens up the democratic process to children. For the first time, the votes of kids and adults are equally counted in a national election as Americans "place their stamp on history" by choosing the stamp subject matter that will represent life in each of the decades of the 20th century.

We have made voting easy for you and your class. You can vote using the special school ballots in your 1960s School Kit or also go online and have your students vote on the interactive Celebrate The CenturyTM voting web site: .

The 1960s voting period runs through May 30th. Please don't let this historical opportunity pass by - empower your students as voters and instill in them the importance of becoming educated, active participants in one of America's greatest rights. As President Clinton stated, "We have a special responsibility to inspire the American people to reflect upon and commemorate the achievement's of this country's past and to celebrate the possibilities of the future."

Today, more than 220,000 classrooms are already participating in the United States Postal Service's Celebrate The CenturyTM program. What's more, educators nationwide are praising this unique program for its quality, diversity and substance, and for the relevancy of the curriculum materials provided. Thank you for your involvement and continued participation in the Celebrate The CenturyTM program.

On August 28, 1963, the great civil rights leader Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., made a very important speech. It is called the "I Have a Dream" speech. This speech was important for many reasons. For one thing, it was a very powerful statement of how many African Americans felt about racial prejudice. It was also an inspiring speech. It was a call to action! The speech inspired many people both black and white to fight hard and bravely for racial justice.

King's speech was also important because it was so beautiful. It was filled with faith, with hope, and with dreams drawn from the American dream. It was written with powerful and poetic language.

Below is one piece of the "I Have a Dream" speech. If you want to read all of it, you should be able to find it in your library. You can also find it on-line:
