The Wasaga Beach Public Library (WBPL) is honoured to present The Power of One, a compelling human rights exhibit presented by The Abraham Global Peace Initiative (AGPI). This impactful and inspiring display highlights the extraordinary impact of individuals who courageously stood against injustice, oppression, and hate.

At the heart of The Power of One lies a powerful message: one individual, through moral courage and bravery, can ignite meaningful change. The exhibit takes visitors through pivotal moments in history, spotlighting people who chose action over apathy. Through vivid storytelling, striking visuals, historical artifacts, and interactive elements, the exhibit celebrates those who refused to remain bystanders when the world needed them most.

Visitors will explore diverse narratives of resilience, advocacy, and leadership—from those who resisted tyranny to individuals who championed human rights and defended marginalized communities. Each story serves as both an educational resource and a profound source of inspiration, prompting visitors to reflect deeply on their personal roles in creating a just and equitable world.

Designed to educate and inspire, The Power of One poses a fundamental question: What can one person do to make a difference? The answer resonates clearly through the narratives of upstanders who defied indifference, courageously spoke truth to power, and altered the course of history.

Exhibited across Canada and internationally—including notable presentations at the United Nations and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights—The Power of One fosters meaningful dialogue, contributes to the decolonization of education, and empowers individuals to actively oppose hate and injustice.

More than an exhibit, The Power of One is a call to action—an invitation for each of us to engage, reflect, and take meaningful steps toward positive change. It reminds us that a single voice, one decision, and one act of courage can profoundly influence the future of humanity.

We warmly invite you to experience The Power of One at the WBPL and discover the transformative potential within yourself.
