Martin Luther King Day fell yesterday this 12 months. It’s celebrated between January Fifteenth-Twenty first, on the Monday closest to his precise birthday (January Fifteenth). I’m a giant fan of Dr. King’s. I used to be ten years previous once we noticed him on TV giving his “I’ve a dream speech” from the Lincoln memorial, with 200,000 folks, black and white, who had participated within the peaceable march on Washington in attendance. It made an enormous impression on me. He and Mahatma Gandhi had been two nice leaders of the twentieth century that achieved lasting change with nonviolent means. Gandhi known as the decided however nonviolent resistance to what’s flawed satyagraha, or “soul pressure”. We want extra of it on this planet.
