Jim Newton’s thoughtful Jan. 14 “Local View” column about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the forward thinkers keeping his dream alive reminded us that we can be inspired to be dream promoters.
Our democracy gives us the opportunity to elect and guide our members of Congress. By calling and writing them, we can call for legislation like renewing the Child Tax Credit that lifted millions of children and families out of poverty. Similar legislation for a renters’ tax credit could help stop the flow to homelessness, especially for the millions of families paying more than half of their income for rent.
These and other initiatives can help keep Dr. King’s dream alive and our country on the road to equity for all — and we can be the ones to make sure it happens!

Letters to the editor are a critical part of the community dialogue, and the News Tribune attempts to publish all letters of opinion meeting our requirements.
Letters are limited to 300 words, must be the original work of the author and must be exclusive to the News Tribune. Letters are edited for style, space, accuracy and civility. Letter writers are limited to one published submission every 30 days.
With rare exceptions, the News Tribune does not publish poetry; letters that are anonymous, libelous, or attack other writers; consumer-complaint letters; thank-you letters or letters generated by political or special-interest campaigns.
We will consider exclusive local view columns of about 600 words or fewer. Authors should possess unique insights, and their commentaries should demonstrate greater knowledge of their subject than letters.
Email submissions to: letters@duluthnewscom.
