Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us that everyone can serve. This MLK Day, students and volunteers came together to pack hundreds of backpacks for The Backpack Project at Durham Inc.
Small acts, shared with care and compassion, help build a stronger community. Service isn’t a moment. It’s a way of life.
Watch the recap to see how this day came together and its greater impact: https://youtu.be/prKGpnWWfbQ

We’re honored to welcome Abby Phillip as the keynote speaker for our annual MLK Commemoration on Sunday, January 18.
An award-winning journalist known for holding power to account and elevating complex, often underrepresented perspectives, Phillip brings a voice deeply aligned with this year’s theme: “Hope Powered by Community II: Together We Serve, Advancing Dr. King’s Vision of Humanity and Equity.”
In conversation with Duke Trinity College of Arts & Sciences professor Candis Watts Smith, Phillip will reflect on Dr. King’s legacy and the power of community in shaping a more just future.
