The exhibit was created by Dean Lawrence Carter of the Martin Luther King International Chapel at Morehouse College in Atlanta to honor the legacy of pursuing peace and non-violent protest begun by Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. and embodied by Daisaku Ikeda today. This exhibit has toured all over the world, including in India, and is coming to the Washington, DC area May 5-10. The Soka Gakkai International (SGI-USA), the Buddhist lay organization based on the three pillars of peace, culture, and education, is hosting the exhibit in the US. Three men from three different faiths, cultures and continents have followed a common path of profound dedication to peace and to improving the lives of all people. Seek their lofty principles and ideals within the grasp of present day existence.
