Peaceful Warriors is about two historical figures who used the power of peaceful protests, nonviolent communication, and perseverance to bring about social change in the world. Mahatma Gandhi and his nonviolent movement began in 1915 and brought freedom for India from Great Britain in 1947. Dr. King was inspired by the nonviolent movement and decided to use the same methods in America when he launched the civil rights movement in 1955. Although both men marched on different lands, the idea of freedom and equality for all was a message that transpired across generations and continents. It is essential we keep their message alive and continue to instill the values of peace, equality, and respect for our fellow human beings in the generations to come.
