"Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into." --Mahatma Gandhi
Rappin' to Be the Change
How do you tell the story of one powerful man who moved a nation to independence, marched 241 miles (388 km) in a symbolic act of freedom, and brought violent conflicts to a screeching halt through fasting? How do you express the complexity of this shy and timid young man who grew into a fiercely gentle leader and pioneer of nonviolence? If you're MC Yogi, you rap about it. With smooth rhythm and lucid lyrics, he explains Gandhi's message to "be the change you wish to see in the world" and spins a tale that would warm anyone's heart.
