   Home                Five Famous Gandhians 01 of 08    
Martin Luther King
'Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is
inescapable ... We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk'


Martin Luther King's struggle for the emancipation of blacks in the US was based on the Gandhian philosophy of non-violence. He called ahimsa a revolutionary concept. King and Gandhi were influenced by
the same authors like Henry Thoreau.

Like Gandhi, King, too, was assassinated by a gunman. They shared a spiritual beginning. King wanted to become a minister and it was at the Crozer Theological seminary in Pennsylvania that he became familiar with Mahatma Gandhi.
