"The Courage of One" by Victoria Palmer — Remembering Tiananmen Square and the Lessons for Today

The power of courage in one person can change a nation. "We are all here united by this image of Tank Man, standing in the face of insurmountable odds," says Victoria Palmer. "One person standing up, standing their ground for what they know to be true, standing for freedom, standing for those who did not have a voice, standing up against authoritarianism." Victoria shares why such courage is very much needed today. (Event on June 4, 2023 at Westlake Park in Seattle. Video produced by Travis Pardo.
