MONDAY IN WORLD HISTORY: PEACE STUDIES! Aim scholars will analyze primary and secondary historical documents in order to determine how Mandela, Gandhi, and King were successful in using nonviolence to lead to change and progress in their countries. Big Idea We have talked a TON about war throughout the year. History, and historians alike, emphasize wars and violence throughout history, because they are often the cause and/or effect of big change. However, many people throughout history have dramatically changed world history without being violent. This week, we will be learning about how three leaders in the 20th century, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., all helped the world not only change, but also progress. Homework Conduct independent research in order to find out who is advocating for change and progress nonviolently in the world today. Be prepared to share about your findings in class tomorrow.
DBQ TIME! Let’s read the Background Essay together, before going into more detail about who these influential leaders were!
MAHATMA GANDHI Gandhi was the preeminent leader of Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience. Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He was the preeminent leader of Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. He was imprisoned for many years, upon many occasions, in both South Africa and India. Gandhi attempted to practice nonviolence and truth in all situations, and advocated that others do the same. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with yarn hand-spun on a charkha. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as a means to both self-purification and social protest.

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. King was an American Baptist minister, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs.
He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957, serving as its first president. With the SCLC, King led an unsuccessful 1962 struggle against segregation in Albany, Georgia (the Albany Movement), and helped organize the 1963 nonviolent protests in Birmingham, Alabama, that attracted national attention following television news coverage of the brutal police response
King helped to organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history.
On October 14, 1964, King received the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolence. King was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a holiday in numerous cities and states beginning in 1971, and as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was dedicated in 2011.

NELSON MANDELA Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.
He was South Africa's first black chief executive, and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.
In 1962, he was arrested, convicted of conspiracy to overthrow the state, and sentenced to life imprisonment in the Rivonia Trial.
Mandela served 27 years in prison, initially on Robben Island, and later in Pollsmoor Prison and Victor Verster Prison. An international campaign lobbied for his release, which was granted in 1990 amid escalating civil strife.
Mandela joined negotiations with Nationalist President F. W. de Klerk to abolish apartheid and establish multiracial elections in 1994, in which he led the ANC to victory and became South Africa's first black president.
He declined to run for a second term, and was succeeded by his deputy, Thabo Mbeki. Mandela became an elder statesman, focusing on charitable work in combating poverty and HIV/AIDS through the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
