Why are you interested in the Gandhi-King Community?
Both Mahatmi Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were great men who viewed the world, not through a microscope, but multi-dimensionally in full focus. We are one people, wherever we come from, whatever we look like and whatever we label ourselves.

During the late 1960's and 70's I was a Detroit Police Officer. I have seen violence and lived with violence. Violoence should never be tolerated or accepted. It only took me a few years to realize that violence begets more violence, and should never be acceptable, under any terms. Ignorance is only a partner to violence. Both need to be eliminated. Human Rights are rights that are God given to all mankind, regardles of any human defined terms of sorting, classifications, origins or geo-political entities.

I believe that God made/designed us as "one," sees us as one and expects the same from all of us, it is my (our) responsibility to bring this about; for me, that is one step at a time. I want to continue my growth in this area of "oneness" and hopefully lead others, by example. Most of my life has been focused on thought, speech, but now I am into the action phase of my life; positive, creative and parnterships with others like me. Universality of mankind is what we are about defined as "oneness."
