Video - The Resilience of Martin Luther King Jr.

Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr. was once stabbed by a mentally ill woman in 1958? Surprisingly, the blade was so close to his aorta that if he had sneezed, he would have died. However, he made a full recovery and continued his fight for civil rights. In 1964, at the age of 35, he became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent resistance to racial prejudice. His famous "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 is still remembered today as a powerful call for equality. So, next time you feel like giving up, remember the resilience of this remarkable man.
