Smith’s adolescence have been highlighted by his attendance as an toddler on the 1963 March on Washington, a foundational second in civil rights historical past that he would later mirror on in his 2023 deal with on the similar hallowed location.
In August, Smith offered insights for “Lead Boldly: Seven Ideas from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” which mixes Dr. King’s strongest speeches along with his personal reflections on the enduring values of management, justice, and group. He proudly shared the launch of the challenge on Instagram.
“At the moment, I’m honored to share the launch of my first e book, ‘Lead Boldly: Seven Ideas from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’ Lead Boldly’ is a brand new e book that options a few of Dr. King’s strongest speeches, paired with my very own insights, context, and reflections on their relevance for right now’s leaders. Themes like ‘The Beloved Group,’ ‘Financial Justice,’ ‘Two Americas,’ and ‘Allies’ have formed my journey, and are important for leaders to know and apply right now.”
