"Today&#x27;s Mideast leaders could learn from the nonviolent philosophy and practices of famed US civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., his son said Monday at a forum in Jerusalem.&#xA;&#xA;Martin Luther King III addressed a conference at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem that centered on his father&#x27;s teachings. After decades of armed conflict, he said Middle East peoples should adopt nonviolence to &quot;turn the dreams into action.&quot;&#xA;&#xA;His father was assassinated in 1968 at the height of his campaign for civil rights for African-Americans in the United States. The elder King preached and practiced nonviolence, promoting sitdown strikes, marches and demonstrations as a way of pressing the need for equal rights in the United States."
