His first response was one of anger.He was so angry that he wanted eye for eye justice. He wanted to respond violently to the people that humiliated him. But he stopped himself, and said ‘that’s not right.’ It was not going to bring him justice. It might make him feel good for the moment, but it wasn’t going to get him any justice.

From that point onward, he developed the philosophy of non-violence and practiced it in his life, as well as in his search for justice in South Africa. He ended up staying in that country for 22 years. And then he went and led the movement of India. And that movement ended up with an independent country, something that no one would have ever envisioned.”

hi Aribeth thanx for bringing up this great & complex man.
here is a quote collage clip (i once sent) on Gandhi that you may like.

Today we lack champions

Desmond Tutu is still a champion in my eyes, Brimstone, not of the calibre of Ghandi, but nevertheless the only black person in this country who speaks out on behalf of the people (both black and white) against government and corporate corruption and excesses. But I fear, he's a voice crying in the wilderness ....

Oh, there are lots of champions out there. Scott Ritter, John Pilger and in other ways, the Jon Stewarts and Dixie Chicks of the world etc. People who tell it like it is, even though they get blasted. They are heroes to me, even if not on the scale of Ghandi.

Great list, but all white.
Michellezm may have being intending non-whites in mentioning Desmond Tutu, whose courage is irrepressible.
