Museum Board Chairman Dr. Benjamin L. Hooks described His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a living example of Dr. Martin Luther King and Gandhi's non-violence in the face of political oppression and suffering. The Dalai Lama demonstrates life-long peaceful struggle against brutality and injustice. As the Tibetan people mark their 50th year in exile, the Dalai Lama's struggle serves as an inspiration for social justice movements everywhere."
