As I write this post, I have the pleasure of viewing 'Direct Talk' on NHK WORLD TV. It is an interesting program with an interview with Ivan Penn, a young Afro-American journalist. The program includes a lot of material on American Civil Rights movement and works by Afro-American leaders like Dr Martin Luther King Jr. I remember my first ever article published nearly 50 years back in my College Magazine when I was a teenaged student working for my first degree. The inspiration to write the article entitled 'Racial Discrimination' came from the the circumstances in the US at that period of time.
It is a well known fact that Dr Martin Luther King Jr himself was inspired by Mahaatma Gandhiji and Gandhian values.
