The narrative traces the origins of civil disobedience among African Americans, starting with the early acts of resistance by enslaved individuals. It highlights the influence of Henry Thoreau's philosophy on civil disobedience, which inspired Mohandas K. Gandhi in his fight for Indian independence. This legacy of nonviolent resistance ultimately reached Martin Luther King, Jr., shaping his approach to the civil rights movement in America. The book explores the interconnectedness of these figures and their impact on social justice.
