The Purpose of Education

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically… Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.”
-Martin Luther King Jr.,  The Purpose of Education, 1947.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University is an excellent resource for research and education about Dr. King. The Healey Library also has a number of books about and recordings of Dr. King. Check LibraryThing for a book list or the catalog for a complete list.
