WHAT KING LEARNED


FROM GANDHI



Here is what Martin Luther

King, Jr. learned from

Mahatma Gandhi: 'Nonviolent

resistance is not a method for

cowards: it does resist ...

Gandhi often said that if

cowardice is the only

alternative to violence, it is

38


better to fight ... while the

nonviolent resister is passive in

the sense that he is not

physically aggressive toward

his opponent, his mind and

emotions are always active,

constantly seeking to persuade

the opponent that he is wrong.'
