| In subsequent years, Martin Luther King campaigned tirelessly despite many threats to his life. He organised freedom marches, 'Sit-in's', silent protests and gave many fine speaches protesting against injustice. Much of his inspiration and example came from the Indian reformer Mahatma Gandhi - another person who believed in peaceful action. Above all else Martin Luther King took his strength from his faith in God and his Christian beliefs. He constantly stressed the need to love even their enemies and pray for those who persecuted them. |
