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.

what people are saying about drew
"Dellinger is an electrifying, cosmopoetic presence as he whirls through galaxies, cuts across time, spirals into subatomic structures, stops on a nanosecond, rhymes and listens. Listen--he's crossing M.L. King with Thomas Berry, Teilhard de Chardin with hip hop. His great-great-grandchildren speak to him in dreams that will make your heart stop."
- China Galland, author of Love Cemetery, Unburying the Secret History of Slaves
