Footage from Drew's poetry performance at The Dream Reborn conference in Memphis, Tennessee, on the 40th Anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination, April 4, 2008. This poem, written in honor of Dr. King and all the heroes and "she-roes" of the Civil Rights Movement, uses language from the speeches of Dr. King.
