The US Department of State has launched the Gandhi-King Scholarly Exchange initiative which explores the histories and legacies of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The first-of-its-kind initiative, which was launched on Tuesday, brings collectively 20 rising younger civic leaders from India and the United States to advance civil rights, social justice, and inclusion on the native, nationwide and worldwide ranges. This trade was championed by late civil rights chief John Lewis.
According to the Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the trade will open on Wednesday, with a one-week digital programme and orientation adopted by a two-week educational residency hosted at Alabama A&M University, Historically Black College and University (HBCU) and the University of Alabama.
In addition to classroom studying and dialogue, contributors will go to civil rights websites in Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham, Alabama; Memphis, Tennessee; and Atlanta, Georgia.
In January 2023, the Indian and US contributors will reconvene in India to go to vital websites, communities and organisations that construct upon their educational curriculum, which is centred across the educational themes of peace, non-violence, and battle decision, and construct their management capacities, a media launch mentioned.
