## Resource

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is often remembered as a dreamer—but he was, above all, a truth-teller. Decades after his assassination, his words still cut through America’s moral contradictions with unsettling precision. In this episode, we revisit Dr. King’s most powerful quotes not as history, but as living warnings. As white nationalism resurfaces, racial resentment is normalized, and Jim Crow–style politics return in new forms, King’s message feels more urgent than ever. The moral arc does not bend on its own. The question remains: are we willing to pull? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
