Martin Luther King Jr. followed the lead of Mahatma Gandhi and employed nonviolent civil disobedience to fight discrimination. His methods brought about some of the most effective civil rights legislation in our country's history and earned him a Nobel Peace Prize. Those methods also brought criticism from whites who said he was pushing too fast, and from African Americans who advocated violence to speed up change.
