"Right now, heroes do walk among us," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an acceptance speech for the Human Rights Award presented by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference on Wednesday.
While paying tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the 50th anniversary of his death, Cook said that the student survivors of the shooting in Parkland, Fla., the activists of the #MeToo movement and those defending Dreamers and DACA are working effectively for change.
"These heroes know that patience is an indulgence that we cannot afford," Cook said.
