    I have reached the point in my journey of understanding the life and work of Dr. King where I’m now trying to get a better grasp on those who directly influenced him. Most recently, my efforts have been turned toward the autobiography of Mohandas Gandhi, one of Dr. King’s more significant inspirations.

    In 1893, at the young age of 23, Gandhi journeyed to South Africa to do some legal work for a family friend. It would be here where many of Gandhi’s views on politics, religion, and the ethics of non-violence would be forged.

For obvious reasons, I am particularly interested in his formation of religious thought as well as his religious experience.
