Hindu and Black Americans: An Important Alliance in Civil Rights Parts 1 & 2

from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella

When we think about the religious communities that offered assistance to the civil rights struggles of the past and present, we don't usually think of Hindus. There is a good reason for that. Nonetheless, there is a connection. In these March 2022 episodes we examine the bridges between the 2 cultures with educator Murali Balaji. Most important is the influence Gandhi had on King and his nonviolent movement. Good shows. Listen & learn! And Dr. Balaji's online article "Why Hindus Should Celebrate Black History Month" is a great read to accompany this. Theme music "Nigal."
