Monday is a special day for students in America. It’s a day off from school! But it’s also an important day for the whole country. January 16 is a national holiday called Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Martin Luther King Jr. became famous for being a civil rights leader in the 1960s. He worked for equal voting rights, education, and pay for all Americans, no matter their race, gender, or religion. King traveled the country, standing up against discrimination.

Leo, age 10, said King made the world a better place. “Without him, we would not have as much peace as we have now,” the reader explained in the News Room. Foo, age 9, added that King helped “let all men be created equal.”

King gave a famous speech in Washington, D.C., in 1963. Called “I Have a Dream,” it inspired many Americans. “I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls,” he said.

“Even though I’m not African American, I still have African American friends,” said Estella, age 9. “They are awesome. So Martin Luther King Jr. is amazing for letting me have those friends!”

King died in 1968. Today, people still remember him for the love and peace he spread through America. They continue to honor him for making the country better. “He was a very strong guy. We should appreciate having someone like that in our world,” said Cecilia, age 11. “He is also a great person to follow and look up to. Appreciate this day.”

Dino's Feathers Found!

Dino's Feathers Found!
Scientists discover ancient feathers inside of amber.

Not all dinosaurs were scaly creatures that walked the earth. Some had soft feathers on their bodies! Recently, scientists found dino feathers inside a fossil. They say it’s 99 million years old!

A team of scientists published the report on December 8. They found the feathers inside of amber. That’s what tree sap becomes when it gets very old. The ancient dino’s tail was trapped in the amber. This is the first dinosaur skeleton ever found in the hardened tree liquid.

Chinese paleontologist Lida Xing studied the fossil. He and his team tried to figure out the species. They first thought it was a bird. But the tail had individual vertebrae. Bird tails have just one solid bone. Now, they think it is a type of dino called a coelurosaur. (That’s it on the cover.)

Xing bought the fossil in Myitkyina, Myanmar. That area has tons of ancient amber! But there is also a terrible war going on there. Xing hopes the war will end soon so he can find more fossils. “Maybe we can find a complete dinosaur,” he told National Geographic.

Surely there are more dino parts where those feathers came from!

Leonard Cohen had a way with words. He was a singer, a songwriter, and a poet. The artist had a long and successful career that inspired many top musicians. On Monday, Cohen died at 82 years old.

Cohen began his career as a writer. He wrote novels and poems before he decided to put his words to music. The artist released his first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen, in 1967. He went on to record 14 albums over the next 50 years.

Musician Nick Cave called Cohen “the greatest songwriter of them all.” Cohen wrote many hits, including “So Long, Marianne” and “Suzanne.” Perhaps his most famous song is “Hallelujah.” (Listen to it in the Video!) Artists such as Justin Timberlake and Jeff Buckley have performed covers of the hit. It was even in the animated film Shrek!

Celebrities and leaders around the world took time to remember Cohen. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, “Canada and the world will miss him.” (Cohen was born in Montreal, Canada, in 1934.) Musician Elton John spoke out too. “Leonard Cohen was unique,” he said. “A giant of a man and a brilliant songwriter.”

There will be a memorial service for Cohen in Los Angeles, California, where he lived. Many of Cohen’s fans are using his own words to remember his talent and his life. He sang:

I did my best. It wasn’t much.
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch.
I’ve told the truth. I didn’t come to fool ya.
And even though it all went wrong,
I’ll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.
