(India - Nonviolence) Salt March - Satyagraha

Salt March  Satyagraha 
Navjivan Press, 2005
Gandhi walked to the ocean and made salt. 
It doesn't sound radical, at all. But in defiance of the British laws, his actions set in motion thousands of acts of non-violent civil disobedience. Starting at his ashram in Ahmedebad, the 61 year old set out with 78 followers to walk 240 miles to the coastal Indian town of Dandi. Many joined the march along the way, and by the end thousands of people walked to the beach on the Gujarati coast. British colonial forces took action and arrested thousands, including Gandhi. The world also took notice. It was these kind of actions that Gandhi organized, that set a different tone, and began a different type of confrontation with the occupying British empire, and would give Gandhi and his followers a moral high ground in the desire for Indian independence.
A few years later, an African-American pastor, Howard Thurman, would visit with Gandhi, and absorb something of Gandhi's philosophy and ethos. In turn, Thurman would years later convey this to a young Martin Luther King Jr. who would draw on Gandhi's approach and work as he pressed toward Civil Rights for African-Americans and other minorities. 
These set of posters focus on the great Salt March and were issued on the events 70th anniversary. The first poster shows the route of the march, the second shows two photos from the event, one of Gandhi taking a quick ocean bath, and the other as he picks up the salt he had made that day.
