As part of its mission to educate
people to appreciate the value of nonviolence, the potential of
nonviolent action to address conflicts, the value of social
responsibility, and the interconnected nature of all human
experience, the Gandhi Center is sponsoring the "Gandhi-King Prison
Initiative: An Essay Contest." This initiative introduces inmates
to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence and the
teachings of Mohandas K. Gandhi that influenced King's view.
Contest deadline is December 5, 2008.
