The Cobb County Public Library announced the following event at the North Cobb Regional Library:

Please join North Cobb Regional Library as part of the America 250 series for a special interactive activity throughout the month of January, celebrating the enduring ideals of American democracy and equality.

We will feature a Dream Wall inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I have a Dream” speech and the foundational principles of the Declaration of Independence.

Participate and Share Your Dream:
We invite you to write or draw your own dream or hope related to equality, freedom, or justice and place the note on the Dream Wall. As you reflect, you can read selected excerpts from the Declaration of Independence paired with passages from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches, highlighting the powerful connection between the promise of 1776 and the movement of 1963.
