Bob Wilson reflects on the life and violent death of Mohammed Sundal. Tracey Fellers takes a walk in Duke Gardens. And The Durham Community Martin Luther King, Jr. Steering Committee Inc. is accepting nominations for the 2013 Keeper of the Dream Award.

All that and much more. Tell us what's on your mind at editor@newsobserver.com, and thanks for reading,
