SEGMENT 1: More than an advocate of racial equality, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a practitioner of peaceful resistance to prejudice, and in this documentary we explore the philosophical and historical roots of King's non-violent movement. SEGMENT 2: Further explorations of non-violence with Mahatma Gandhi's grandson, Dr. Arun Gandhi (now in his 70s) who as a troubled teenager was tutored daily by the spiritual / political leader, gaining an intimate glimpse into the life and beliefs of a remarkable twentieth century figure.
Timing and Cues
A REMINDER OF OUR FORMAT:
Humankind episodes are available in both full-hour and half-hour versions:
***For stations preferring FULL-HOUR programs:
The end of the first 29-minute segment flows into a billboard for the second half-hour, concluding with the phrase, "when Humankind continues in a moment." This is followed immediately by a :30 music bed for local ID, etc. The bed begins at 29:30. Second half of the program begins at 30:00 and concludes at 58:55 with the PRI audio logo.
***For stations preferring HALF-HOUR programs:
Stations are entitled to air either or both half-hours. The first half-hour (00-29:00) concludes with "PRI, Public Radio International" followed by a brief pause. Please note, the second half-hour, beginning at 30:00, is a self-contained program concluding at 58:55 with the PRI audio logo. Note that single topics spread over two half-hour episodes are still formatted to air as stand-alone half-hours.

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.
