    According to a press statement, the museum will collaborate with the Martin Luther King Foundation to display the lives and messages of the two greatest personalities of the modern era.

    In his remarks, Jaiswal lauded the Gandhian Society's efforts on this project and those of its founder, Bhadra Butala, as well as the Birla Group for bringing the museum to the United States.
