Today, SBH wants to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. His influential “I have a dream” speech was an impassioned call to end discrimination and outlined his vision for a world where people are judged on the content of their character. The messages of empowerment and inclusion he shared more than 50 years ago are still relevant today. SBH honors how Martin Luther King Jr. inspired millions of people in his lifetime and continues to inspire us to this day, over 50 years after his tragic death. #mlkday2023 You can find more information about Dr. King and his life’s work at: https://lnkd.in/du7agyC https://lnkd.in/g87nJ9vU
