Gandhi used and encouraged reclaiming India through peaceful means. Gandhi was a man of the bible. He did not condone or wish violence against his enemies and that “there is no god higher than truth.” In April 1930 Gandhi led the salt march which protested the British tax and control over Indiaʻs salt production. This was just one of many acts that led to the freedom of India. The Black Lives Matter movement in Hawaii has shown itself to be very peaceful while bringing to light some issues that plague people of color such as police brutality and redlining. Examples of some peaceful demonstrations include downtown Orlando where people are lying down in the streets to symbolize the final moments of George Flyodʻs life. Some other cases however include violent acts committed against other people such as smashing car windows, looting, and destroying businesses. Which in no way honoring the life of George Floyd or other wrongful black deaths.
