Moral Heroes: Cases of Righteous Disobedience

Human history is often defined by powerful figures who were in the position to make decisions for a nation; however, we should also remember that history is also shaped by individuals who chose to either follow these decisions or defy them. At times the actions of those who disobey orders and act according to their own moral compass can spark hope and compassion in the hearts of others and create great change.

May the courageous individuals and their stories of defiance featured on today’s show be an inspiration to us all, showing how one person or action can make a positive impact for the greater good of humanity. We salute these ordinary human beings for their extraordinary acts of compassion, commitment, and service to the world.
