What Is America's Gift To My Generation
America’s gift to my generation is freedom. Mohandas Gandhi brought independence to India. He was later an inspiration for movements of nonviolence, civil rights, and freedom across the world. Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, and died in 1948. The 39th president Jimmy Carter and his wife built The Carter Center in Atlanta. It’s a “fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering; it seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health.” Martin Luther King Jr. advanced civil rights by using nonviolent civil disobedience. He led the first African-American nonviolent demonstration with the bus boycott in 1955. King was born in 1929 and died in 1968 because he was assassinated.
