Martin Luther King (1929-1968) was a black clergyman (священник) and leader of the
struggle for racial equality and civil rights in the United States. King was born in Atlanta,
Georgia, on 15 January 1929, the son of a Baptist minister (священник). He became a pastor in
1947 and after studying at Boston University took up his first ministry (приход) in Montgomery,
Alabama. In 1956 he led a campaign to end the separation of black from white people on public
transport. He travelled throughout the United States and abroad, lecturing and meeting many
civil and religious leaders. An inspiring(страстный, вдохновенный) speaker, he was influenced
by the example of Gandhi. Although often arrested and threatened (once he was stabbed
(ударили ножом) and his home was bombed), he always urged (призывал) his followers not to
use violence (насилие). In 1963 he was one of the leaders of great civil rights march to
Washington DC and encouraged blacks to secure(защитить) their full voting rights. In 1964 he
received the Nobel Peace Prize and gave the civil rights movement the prize money, saying that
he regarded(воспринимать) the award as a tribute( награда) to all who worked with him. On 4
April 1968 King’s life ended tragically when he was shot during a civil rights campaign in
Memphis, Tennessee.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was a major political
and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. Gandhi first employed non-
violent civil disobedience as a lawyer in South Africa, in the resident Indian community's
struggle for civil rights. After his return to India in 1915, he set about organising peasants,
farmers, and city workers in protesting excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming
leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing
poverty, for expanding women's rights, for building religious and ethnic amity, for increasing
economic self-reliance, but above all for achieving the independence of India from foreign
domination. Gandhi famously led Indians in protesting the British-imposed salt tax with the
400 km) Salt March in 1930. He was imprisoned for many years, on numerous occasions, in
both South Africa and India. Gandhi was a practitioner of non-violence and truth, and advocated
that others do the same. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore
the traditional Indian clothes. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as
means of both self-purification and social protest. On 30 January 1948, Gandhi was shot and
killed while having his nightly public walk
Gandhi's principles: Truth, Nonviolence, Vegetarianism, Simplicity, Faith.
