Duke University's 2009 Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration Committee finds inspiration for reflecting on Dr. King's legacy in the biblical account of Joseph and his brothers. "'Here comes that dreamer!' [Joseph's brothers] said to each other. 'Come now let's kill him.... Then we'll see what comes of his dreams'" (Genesis 37:19-20).  |   Learn more about this year's theme...
