Preservation Detectives: ‘What’s Your Dream?’

This Martin Luther King Day program explores the connections between the Jewish immigrants who worshiped at the 1887 landmark Eldridge Street Synagogue, now the Museum at Eldridge Street, and the African-Americans who took part in the civil rights movement: Both were trying to make progress in a world that had previously held them back. This free workshop, part of the museum’s Preservation Detectives series, invites children 4 to 10 to hear a reading of Kobi Yamada’s book “What Do You Do With an Idea?” and then help make a mural that celebrates both their own dreams and that of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
