Mahatma Gandhi Museum: Prophets of Gentleness



At the museum, there was a tribute to many contributors of non-violent resistance. I love how the contributions from a variety of people are being celebrated.

QUESTION(s)/TOPIC(s)
Difficulty Level Low – Looking at all of these people, which one do you know the most information about? Please share your facts.
Difficulty Level Medium - Do you think any Prophet of Gentleness is missing? If so, who do you think he/she is and why would you add them to this list?
Difficulty Level Medium – Why did each of these people support peaceful means of solving problems? (THINK – what was going on in the world while they were alive….that’s right…think about history!!!)
Difficulty Level High – Pick one person from this list and one world leader (past, present, or newly elected). How are these figures the same or different?
Difficulty Level High – Pick one person from this list and one world leader (past, present, or newly elected). What advice do you think he/she would have for the leader you have chosen? Why do you think this?

  6. There are a few people that should be added to the list. MLK for sure, he was a truly inspiring person, but not as inspiring as the one who inspired him. This man freed the slaves, ended the civil war. He was Abraham Lincoln.' He is the one who insprired MLK. he took the first step in the direction of ending segregation, racism, and slavery.
