Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed in the strategy of nonviolence to advance civil and human rights. In "Nonviolence: A Way of Life, [2]" the six principles and six steps of nonviolence are highlighted for a deeper understanding of what nonviolent participation meant to Dr. King. The Chronicle of Higher Education article, "The Prophet Revisted [3]," analyzes the legacy of Dr. King and suggests how the memory of his work might be used to spark continued work in the area of social justice and civil rights.
