Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’
Dr. Martin Luther King
During a month-long trip to India in 1959, he had the opportunity to meet family members and followers of Gandhi, the man he described in his autobiography as “the guiding light of our technique of nonviolent social change.” King also authored several books and articles during this time.
