Human rights are a very important part of every individual.
Human rights protect vulnerable

people from abuse. If someone abuses their power against our rights, we stand up and protect
them
During his life David began writing poetry with his friend, he is remembered for his
philosophical writings and his desire od disobedience.
He wrote “Civil Disobedience” as a protest against injustice. He practiced Civil Disobedience
by not paying taxes. Thoreau refused to pay taxes to an unjust government that supported
slavery and was fighting an unjust war. This form of protest inspired leaders for generations
• Civil disobedience is an active form of nonviolent protest.
Those who practice civil disobedience are strong people who believe in justice.
Thoreau presents his own experiences as a model of the unjust government by describing his
experience in the Concord jail after refusing to pay the taxes for six years.
Gandhy, the great soul in India. He was influenced by his mother, she taught him, that every
person matters and people must respect other lives, Gandhi experienced discrimination against
all people of color. When he was traveling on a train where the police made him sit in a third-
class section even though he had purchased a first-class ticket, Gandhi refused, and he was
forced off the train. This event changed his life. Gandhi started to refuse to obey laws that
made him get arrested
Gandhi was decided to change the Indian’s lives. He fought against the injustice of a
government that did not respect the civil rights of Indians.
The Salt March was the most symbolic act of Gandhi’s life. His protest helped India to
become independent on August 15, 1947. Gandhi drew a nonviolent change. This inspired
Civil Rights Movements in the United States of America with Martin Luther King Jr. and it
inspired Nelson Mandela’s leadership.
Thoreau introduced the Civil disobedience as an act of protest against the unjust laws of a
government.
He believed people can change things by disobeying because it was an act that does not need
violence.
Before 1955, segregation between the races was common in the south. This meant that
public areas such as schools, restrooms, water fountains, and restaurants had separate areas for
black people and white people. This was also true of public transportation such as buses and
trains. There were areas where black people could sit and other areas where white people
could sit.
Rosa's arrest raised a protest against segregation. Civil rights leaders got together to
organize a day to boycott the buses.
The boycott was planned at a meeting in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s church. They formed a
group called the Montgomery Improvement Association with Martin Luther King, Jr. as the
leader.
The boycott meant that for one day black people would not ride the buses as a protest against
discrimination, and people would knew what to do and around 90% of black people in
Montgomery didn’t ride the buses.
Some white people were not happy with the boycott. Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested and
spent 2 weeks in jail. Some of the white people became violent. They bombed Martin Luther
King Jr.'s home and some black churches. Sometimes the boycotters were attacked when they
were walking. The boycott lasted 385 days
King´s protests always were non-violent. In a speech to some angry protesters he said "We
must love our white brothers, no matter what they do to us."
King's role in the bus boycott transformed him into a national figure and the best-known
spokesman of the civil rights movement.
It was a group of civil rights activists who managed to conduct nonviolent protests to
achieve civil rights reform.
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom became the pinnacle of King’s national and
international influence.
Over 250,000 people attended this march to show the importance of civil rights legislation
People marched: ● to end segregation in public schools ● to get protection from police abuse
● to end discrimination
It was at this march where Martin gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. This speech has become
one of the most famous speeches in history.
Later, in his "I Have a Dream" speech, King described what he saw for America's future. The
impact of King's impassioned speech — a call for equality, compassion, and freedom —
resonated around the world. In part, King shared a dream that people not be judged by the
color of their skin but by the content of their character.
What was the result of the March on Washington?

The March on Washington was a great success. The Civil Rights Act was passed a year later
in 1964. “Free at last, Free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last.”
King focused on this element as he faced such violence throughout his life. Justice is
considered a prevailing practice under the principles of nonviolence, centering love in all
decision-making processes.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a vital figure of the modern era and a pivotal figure in the
Civil Rights Movement. In sermons and speeches, Dr. King's voice rang out with a call for us
to work toward a better tomorrow. His actions inspired men and women, young and old, in
this nation and around the world.
