With assistance from the Quaker group "the American Friends Service Committee" (AFSP) and the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" (NAACP), Martin Luther King Jnr. visited the Gandhi family to pay his respects to Mahatma Gandhi.
In a radio address he stated: "Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of non-violent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity. In a real sense, Mahatma Gandhi embodied in his life certain universal principles that are inherent in the moral structure of the universe, and these principles are as inescapable as the law of gravitation." http://tinyurl.com/yp7s5c OffWorld
