The American Gandhi

In 2005 I was invited to portray the historic Gandhi in India. Newspaper headlines called me "the American Gandhi." My hosts and the media representatives charged me with bringing Gandhi's message to the world. On return at the encouragement of friends I chose to apply Gandhi's principles to the world's issues and needs.

About Me

Bernie Meyer: I am fortunately a healthy 70 year old who has been through many of life's twists and turns. I thrust myself into activism in 1965 as a young Catholic priest after being raised in a Cleveland Ohio working class family. Soon, I was embroiled in resisting the war in Vietnam, fighting racism, and working to end poverty. I ended up being arrested by both Church and government in separate direct actions in the nonviolent spirit of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. After raising a family of three children, I now spend my time on the issues mentioned, working with other activists and portraying Gandhi. I have been doing this for the last five years. While portraying Gandhi in India in 2005, I was named "the American Gandhi." I have come to do things like the subject of this blog. I see peacemaking as beginning with me, with the individual, and extending into all human relationships and organizations, all the to international relations. My book will illustrate my experiences and insights about peace making.
