Martin Luther King III and a U.S. Congressional Delegation Visit Western India to Honor King-Gandhi Legacy
 
'It is fitting that we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's visit to India only weeks after the historic inauguration of President Obama, who was deeply inspired by both Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As Dr. King himself said, he came to India not as a tourist but as a pilgrim. Their messages of equal rights, peaceful coexistence, and nonviolent social change still resonate today,' U.S. Consul General Paul Folmsbee said, February 2009.
