A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The record of civil disobedience by African Americans begins soon after slaves were brought legally to the American colonies: they began to run away, and of how civil disobedience, first suggested in America by Henry Thoreau, crossed oceans to influence Mohandas K. Gandhi, whose thinking in turn attracted a divinity student named Martin Luther King, Jr.
