In 1959, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. decided to visit Gandhi’s family in India. Martin Luther King had followed Gandhi’s philosophies of non violent protest. Some say the Gandhi was Martin Luther King’s role model as Gandhi had achieved many things with non-violent protests. By visiting India, Martin Luther King Jr. understood the ideas of non violent protests and his understanding of Gandhi’s became clearer. Gandhi had supported Martin Luther King’s goals and was influential in supplying knowledge to Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King then went back to the United States where he was able to apply his new-learned knowledge.
