MLK visited Ohio Northern 56 years ago

As our nation prepares to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, we commemorate the 56th anniversary of Dr. King’s speech at Ohio Northern on Jan. 11, 1968.

“Somewhere we must come to see that human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals who are willing to be co-workers with God. Without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation.

Focusing primarily on building trust, enhancing self-efficacy, and strengthening personal skills and resources promotes optimal health and well-being of the mother-baby dyad.
