From February 3, 1959, to March 18, 1959, Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, left the United States for a trip to India and other locations. King was inspired by Mohandas Gandhi and his success with nonviolent activism, and as a theology student, King described Gandhi as being one of the "individuals who greatly reveal the working of the Spirit of God". King had "for a long time ... wanted to take a trip to India." After recovering for over three months from surgery following a 1958 stabbing by Izola Curry in Harlem King began to plan his trip. With assistance from Harris Wofford, the American Friends Service Committee and the Mahatma Gandhi National Memorial Trust, and funding from the Christopher Reynolds Foundation, the Montgomery Improvement Association, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, King was able to fund the journey in early 1959.
