The Dream Deferred
The Spring 2008 issue coincides with the 40th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s death. Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights legend in his own right, reflects on the man he knew, as well as the movement and the legacy of Dr. King’s ideals.
In remembrance of King’s dream—a wish that all children be judged by the content of their character—stories in this issue promote equity and understanding. From serving refugees to migrant students to children with ADHD, we explore creative ways in which school communities can welcome and nurture all students.
