"Actions prove who someone is. Words prove who they want to be." Although words are important, actions are the essentials that are the most significant to revealing a persons character, such as Martin Luther King and Gandhi. Martin Luther King is a great example when it comes to actions. During the Civil Rights Movement Dr.King did not fight with words but with non-violent actions such as boycotts and strikes.

The March that Changed the Nation I believe that our nation has finally come to understand what Martin Luther King Jr.s dream actually meant. However, because we understand this doesn’t mean we’ve all acted to make it become true. I believe that it’s hard for some people to forgive and adapt to the new ways of life. In Martin’s speech he says “One day all White and Black children will One day hold hands”.
He didn’t let his supporters down and instead encouraged them to fight for their civil rights. He must be remembered because he had a big heart and willing to sacrifice his life for the greater good.

Dr. Martin Luther King’s involvement in the civil rights movement is based off of his beliefs of individual responsibility and justice versus injustice. Going off of his beliefs King would go on to encourage thousands of other African Americans to join him in the civil rights movement. Dr. King believed that every person had a voice that counted, and that the oppressed rely on that voice to free themselves. He believed that “Time itself is neutral”(King) saying that if the oppressed continue to stay quiet and conform with what society wants then nothing will change. If you look on those words and compare their usage from the 1960’s to the present you see that they are still relevant.
“People try nonviolence for a week, and when it 'doesn't work' they go back to violence, which hasn't worked for centuries.” Theodore Roszak. This saying represents the change that happened in my point of view why nonviolent resistance is better and more effective than violent resistance. Actually, I had believed that the best way to defeat injustice and fight for rights was to use violent actions to prove the power of protesters. However, I started supporting nonviolent resistance, when, I studied Martin Luther King, who broke segregation law by practicing nonviolent actions using civil disobedience (non-violent protests and peace rallies), and listened to his inspirational speech “ I have a dream “.

However, King still practised self-defence and even owned guns to defend himself.
