The MLK ceremony in Mumbai was pretty cool

I didn't think had made that much of an impact in India, but his admiration for Gandhi seems to have caught people's imagination.

Anyways, a bunch of high school kids were reading his speeches at the Vivekananda and Gandhi statues. The speech I caught was my favorite of his, about being glad he didn't sneeze.

I know MLK day is just starting for most of you guys, but I was glad to see he's acknowledged in India.

1. Thanks for that, Recursion. Now if the men in India would begin to see us women as human

beings too, sigh...Progress is slow, I know, but I fervently believe this from Dr. King, "Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice."

2. Amen. Though the mill grinds slow, it grinds exceeding fine

I'm doing what little I can on that one...

(Also, did you know the anti rape protests have taken the candle as their symbol? )

3. True

4. No, I didn't know that, but it seems a very fitting symbol. Thank you for helping!

Changing ingrained attitudes is a slow, frustrating process, but a very worthwhile one. It might take a generation or two, but I am confident that attitudes will change.
