Rx for Resilience: Climb
Tomorrow our nation celebrates the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. - his dream, his courage, and his vision for a united America.
Today we bring you someone who is a modern-day inspiration of this great man as she represents the vision of emerging leaders in our country. No matter how you identify as a young person in the United States - whether it be Native American, Latino, African descent, Asian Pacific Islander, Neurodiverse, Ability Status, Rural, Urban, as an Ally, or as an older member of society committed to supporting our youth- we can all be enriched listening to and connecting with our young leaders. Amanda Gorman’s reading of "The Hill We Climb"
continues to be an inspiration and calls us forth to rise with the best we each have for all that is before us.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was 34 when he delivered his famous I Have A Dream speech in 1963. The Beatles were in their twenties when their careers took off. Today, think about the remarkable young people in your midst, or if you are a young person, think about how you can rise to the calling of your purpose, your power, and your passion. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is an inspiration for all of us, no matter what our age. By recalling the inspiring words of Amanda Gorman, we see the arc of time's impact of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and all leaders whose courage improves the world.
