The Civil Rights Movement lead by Dr. Martin Luther King was based in the ideas of non-violent resistance, shaped by Mahatma Gandhi and used effectively to achieve the independence of India after many years of British rule. The idea was that by standing firm but offering a non-violent response to the violence inflicted upon them, it would bring others to sympathize with and support their cause. They hoped that they could more effectively stir the conscience of the country in this way and achieve their goals. Non-violence also was in line with the Christian beliefs of Dr. King and many of his supporters.
