However, with the right help, victims can emerge from the shadows and reclaim their life and worth.

We shouldn't forget that Dr. King was a leader, a man of conscience and of action. He sought to transform America, that forced him to be a disrupter -- and to bear the wounds of being unpopular in a just cause.

Pop Icon and music legend, Michael Jackson, had passed away due to health complications.
