Sachin H. Jain, President and CEO, Board Director at SCAN Health Plan, shared on LinkedIn:
“Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was deeply inspiring to me as a child because he stood up for what he believed was right – even in the face of enormous resistance. He was, to me, the embodiment of ethical leadership.
As an adult, I understand Dr. King more fully: a towering leader who was also human, imperfect, and flawed. And yet, that fuller understanding only deepens my admiration. Despite his imperfections, he built one of the most consequential movements of our time – one that sought to heal profound fractures in our society.
On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I find myself thinking about the fractures that remain. Some are the same ones Dr. King confronted. Others are new, shaped by our era and our choices.
I sometimes ask myself: who are the Dr. Kings of today?
And then I’m reminded that part of what Dr. King asked of us was not simply to admire him, but to act. To live with moral courage. To resist injustice. To carry a spirit of principled rebellion.
If we allow ourselves to, there is a little Dr. King in each of us.”
