King spent the early weeks of the new year flying around the country trying to drum up support for his poverty campaign but he found one of his toughest audiences back home in Atlanta...
KING PREACHED "THE DRUM MAJOR INSTINCT" AT Ebenezer that Sunday, Feb. 4. He freely adapted a sermon published under that title during his seminary years by evangelist J.

The trio released three seminal albums...

Kwong should be commended for publicizing the progress of the Felipe’s license process and using House open lists to drum up student support. The lobbying Kwong led seems to have done the trick. We look forward to an all-out effort to secure Felipe’s a 4 a.m. license six months from now—a move that could have the potential to transform opportunities for late-night food...
