King called the principle of nonviolent resistance the “guiding light of our movement. Christ furnished the spirit and motivation while Gandhi furnished the method” (Papers 5:423). King’s notion of nonviolence had six key principles. First, one can resist evil without resorting to violence. A testament to the revolutionary power of nonviolence, Gandhi’s approach directly influenced Martin Luther King, Jr., who argued that the Gandhian philosophy was “the only morally and practically sound method open to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom” (Papers 4:478). Gandhi's greatest contribution to history, and the reason his was such a crucial influence on King, was to call into question this seeming truism that being nonviolent means being passive. He spent virtually his entire adult life experimenting with methods of nonviolence intended to be not just morally admirable, but effective in the real world. King first learned of Gandhi's idea of nonviolence when he was studying to become a minister, a Christian leader. King connected Gandhi's words to those of Jesus. In the Bible, Jesus tells his followers to "love your enemies." King believed strongly in the Christian idea of love. Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas greatly influenced Martin Luther King Jr., especially his belief in nonviolent protest. Gandhi called this ‘Satyagraha’. King used this approach to fight against racial unfairness and segregation in America. This lesson introduces students to the philosophy of nonviolence and the teachings of Mohandas K. Gandhi that influenced Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s views. After considering the political impact of this philosophy, students explore its relevance to personal life and contemporary society.
