The Power of Words For Change “My ambition,” quoted Gandhi, the omnipotent warrior without weapons, as he led protestors on the monumental Salt March, “is much higher than independence.” Gandhi, alike Cesar Chavez and Michelle Obama, would then change our society as we know it. These three individuals enacted change by uniting a common opinion and raising awareness for the critical cause of human rights.
