This year, in honor of Dr. King and those who, like him, helped us to imagine a more just, inclusive world, nearly 100 Durham dreamers, ages 5-88, contributed to a Community Poem which Durham County Extension's Kids Voting program wove together. You can view the poem and watch a video of Durham County's Commissioners reading the poem aloud at their February 27 meeting on the Kids Voting Durham website: kidsvotingdurham.org/blog/mlkcommunitypoem2025
