Abstract

This episode of "Like It Is" features Yolanda King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., discussing the ongoing importance of nonviolence, which she believes remains the strongest and most courageous approach to social change. She emphasizes that nonviolence promotes self-respect, inner strength, and spiritual power, and is essential in addressing complex social issues today. Yolanda advocates for community responsibility, active engagement, and persistent efforts—such as writing to government officials—to honor her father's legacy and advance justice. She also highlights her work in theater and youth programs aimed at inspiring future generations to continue the fight for equality through nonviolent means.
