Sonia JohnsonWe must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.
About This Quote
The idea that one determined person can make a significant difference is a common misconception. The truth is that no individual can change the course of history. If you think your small group of friends would be able to change the world, think again. The truth is, it takes large groups of people to do so. Look at the massive movements such as the Civil Rights Movement and the anti-war movement where millions of people were unified and worked together to create positive change.
