Young Kid Fiction

Every activist started out as a kid‚ and in some cases, they were kids when their activism began!

Martin Luther King, Jr., loved fashion and argued with his dad about whether or not dancing was a sin. Harvey Milk had a passion for listening to opera music in different languages. Dolores Huerta was once wrongly accused of plagiarizing in school.

Every great artist started out as a kid. Forget the awards, the sold-out museum exhibitions, and the timeless masterpieces.

And football superstar Peyton Manning was forced to dance the tango in his school play.
