The Theory of Non-violence

In this blog I will discuss the the practical elements of non-violence shared by another group of class mates learned from the racial movements and campaigns as well as  social activism of Martin Luther King in the past. What I have learned from them is how the theory of non-violence is implemented practically by Martin Luther king who was following the teachings of Ghandi who fought for freedom from the British Colonial power in India. They both used the method of non-violence by boycotting against their oppressors. Both carried out their philosophies through the method of non-violence based on spirituality. What I also learned from reading the very beginning of Martin Luther King's most famous books "A Testament Of Hope" edited by James M. Washington is how boycotting was used to awaken the sense of shame withing the oppressor. The struggle is not between the superiority or inferiority of races, but it is with justice and injustice.
