In 1942, Gandhi made a public pronouncement for Britian to quit India......... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi
In the 1960's, Martin Luther King gave his "I have a Dream" Speech on the Mall in Washington......igniting the civil rights movement, and inspiring us all to think differently..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.
Tomorrow, Oct 17, 2007, the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet will make his speech on the West Lawn in Washington, DC.......after receiving his Congressional Medal of Honor (the highest civilian citation)
I believe that it will be equally, if not more, momentous......
We are living in times of great changes; and this is history in the making. Please be sure to listen in tomorrow.

I posted this on another article today where I said: Hopefully, The New York-based group, Human Rights Watch will have a presence during this time. They stress that China has to make urgent reforms in human rights and labor and press freedom before the Olympic flag is officially handed over from the city of Athens to that of Beijing, where the Olympic games are staged for 2008.
