Adding to the #InTheirOwnWords series, today we have three new archived interviews available with Martin Luther King, Jr., Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, and Jain Master Shri Chitrabhanuji.

First is a 55-year-old interview with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on NBC’s Meet the Press. He discusses his views on nonviolent protests, business owners refusing service to citizens, and marriage; civil rights topics that are still hotly debated today.

Next is a look at UK Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis’ first year in office, from 2013 to 2014, as he stresses the importance of Shabbat, his excitement about Centre for Rabbinic Excellence, and identifies his three biggest obstacles ahead.

Then we have a 2012 interview in Forbes Magazine with Jain Master Shri Chitrabhanuji, who spoke about human nature, simplicity, sustainability, life as a jain monk, bringing Jainism to North America during the 1970s, and the most important thing to realize in one’s lifetime.
