Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence was primarily inspired by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, who advocated for peaceful resistance and civil disobedience in the struggle for Indian independence. Additionally, King drew on Christian principles, particularly the teachings of Jesus regarding love and forgiveness. He also incorporated ideas from Henry David Thoreau's essay on civil disobedience, emphasizing the moral imperative to resist unjust laws peacefully. Together, these influences shaped King's approach to the Civil Rights Movement.
