Review of Humankind: Meeting Hate With Love -- Stories of King and Gandhi


From the weekly series ?Humankind,? ?Meeting Hate with Love?Stories of King and Gandhi? is a two-part exploration on two of the leading practitioners of non-violence, Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. Although their stories are well known, David Freudberg provides a unique perspective with interviews with individuals that knew both men and audio clips from their eras. The program focuses on both men?s non-violent philosophies and is a powerful testament to King and Gandhi?s philosophy. Always well produced with high technical standards, ?Humankind? remains one of the distinct programs on public radio. For years, David Freudberg has been a unique and positive voice in a media world characterized by negativity. ?Meeting Hate with Love? could air at anytime but would be particularly appropriate around MLK Day.
