Suggested Hymns:
Dare to Do Right (Children's Songbook 158)
I Will Be Valiant (Children's Songbook 162)
When Faith Endures (Hymns 128)

Activity:
Ask family members to come to home evening prepared to give brief presentations about people or events from the civil rights movement that exemplify courage in the face of opposition. Examples might include:

The lunch counter sit-ins The Freedom Riders Little Rock

Rosa Parks James Meredith Martin Luther King

You might find books or films--or perhaps a photographic exhibit--about these people or events at your local library.

Read:
Joshua 1:9
D&C 6:33-34

Discuss:
What can we learn from these historical examples about finding the courage to stand up for what we know is right?
Have family members ever felt that they should speak up or act to defend what's right, but were afraid?
In such situations, how can we overcome our fear?
