On Monday, children across the Oklahoma City area will have the day off from school. For a group of students at Wilson Elementary, the day may carry some extra significance thanks to the efforts of the Thunder’s Andre Roberson and Josh Huestis.
As a part of the organization’s Reading Timeout program, sponsored by American Fidelity, the Thunder duo popped in as a surprise to a deserving, well-behaved group of students to read “Martin’s Big Words”, a book about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As the duo alternated back and forth, the children sat in reverent silence, hanging on each word about the way King helped change the United States a half century ago.
