Is Peace Possible?
The Gandhi, King, Ikeda: A Legacy of Building Peace Exhibit is coming to UNLV next month.
The exhibit celebrates global peace, nonviolence, civil and human rights, and community building as instruments of change. It highlights the humanistic contributions of Mohandas K. Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Daisaku Ikeda, three men from different cultures and continents who followed a common path of profound dedication and achievement in improving the lives of all people.
The exhibit invites viewers to examine the lives of these great figures and contemplate whether their lofty ideals and principles are within the grasp of our daily existence.

Inspiring Quotes
The nationally renowned Gandhi, King, Ikeda exhibit extols humanist virtues and their champions. Gandhi led the campaign against the colonial rule of the British Empire, King fought against the injustices and prejudice built against people of color in America, and Ikeda encourages millions to live a life of dignity and to work for world peace.
The exhibit panels feature colorful photographs, inspiring quotes, and factual information about Gandhi, King, and Ikeda. It was originally commissioned in 1999 by Lawrence E. Carter, dean of Morehouse College's Martin Luther King International Chapel.
The exhibit is sponsored by UNLV's office of the vice president for diversity and inclusion and by the Institute for Multicultural Education and Diversity Training.
