Gandhi was a lawyer, on a business trip to South Africa and he

to his advantage. He was a man much like Martin Luther King Jr., both

achieving civil rights for their people and attempting to abolish

discrimination. Unfortunately, Gandhi too, suffered from his opposition.

description of is own character.
