A vision too powerful to be silenced: What MLK reminds us about resilience

Updated: Jul 8

As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I'm reminded of the remarkable mental resilience he demonstrated throughout his life. His unwavering commitment to justice and equality, even in the face of immense adversity, serves as a profound lesson in resilience for all of us.


In 1963, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. King faced immense pressure and threats to his life. Yet, he stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech.


What many may not know is that he had been advised to tone down his speech, to play it safe. But his vision for a better future was too powerful to be silenced.
