10. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a follower of Gandhi's principles

Gandhi had a lot to say about non co-operation with evil.

Nonviolent non-co-operation with evil means co-operation with all that is good.

Non-co-operation with evil is as much a duty as co-operation with good.

Non-co-operation is the quickest method of creating public opinion.

Non-co-operation means refusal both to help the sinner in his sin and to accept any help or gift from him till he has repented

Non-co-operation is protest against an unwitting and unwilling participation in evil

Non-co-operation is an attempt to awaken the masses to a sense of their dignity and power.
