As the country turned it attention to the inauguration of Barack Obama, ABLE students pay some respect to the legacy and memory of the last person of African descent that inspired America to hope anew: Dr. Martin Luther King, jr. Students were asked a simple question: when you think of Dr. King what are the thoughts and ideas that come to mind? Using their own words, students then created a (non) poem that captured King's memory and legacy. Below are a sample of what students wrote The (non) poems together are entitled "Citizen KIng".
