That brown skinned man was Mahatma Gandhi, a practicing barrister (do I use British terms) in S. Africa at that time. HIs organization, had tis with the ANC (a party Nelson Mandel belonged to.) Mahatma Gandhi was pushed out of the train by a white train conductor causing him to fall on the platform. That fall he took was significant because that signified the start of his movement to liberate the British Crown jewel, India. He returned to India, cast aside his barrister's attire, covered himself with a loin cloth and marched for India's freedom. The rest is history. Why do I have that brotherhood feeling towards S. Africa? It is because of ANC's ties with Gandhi, it is because of Mandela's initial movement of non-violence to gain freedom from the British/Afrikaneer's who were practicing apartheid. The ANC and INC (Indian National Congress that Gandhi started along with a few colleagues such as Annie Besant etc.) are brothers and that brotherhood binds me not only with the African Americans and Hispanics here but to all those oppressed including Mandela's S. Africa, Ireland (persecution of the Irish Catholics) etc.
