Martin Luther King vs Nelson Mandela I think the characteristic that sets leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela apart is that not only did they want equal rights for their own, they wanted it for their "enemies." They wanted a world where there was unity and racial equality, where members of all races could live in peace and brotherhood.
Some others wanted - and still want - to raise the status of their own race by reducing or eliminating that of their former oppressors. Some advocate violence and/or contention as a means to get the equality they deserve. That sentiment is not in harmony with the teachings of men like King, Gandhi, and Mandela .
