"Only when it's dark enough can you see the stars” ― Martin Luther King Jr.," he quoted.

Singh continued to reference the particularly "difficult times" that we are living through right now. 

"But, let's remember the words of Dr. King and the lessons of history ― when we take care of and uplift one another, we all rise," he concluded. 

Today Twitter is flooded with messages and quotes in honour of King.

This week also marks the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on January 20.
