- I really enjoyed Dr. King's letter and was reminded of Gandhi's beliefs throughout the letter. (Dr. King was greatly influenced by Gandhi). It is amazing to me that this little man (Gandhi) single-handedly stopped war by fasting!!!!!!! He spread his message of non-violent resistance and love and changed the World!!!!!!!!!!! Where are these people today? I just want to recommend that if you have never seen it and are interested--- Please watch the movie "Gandhi". It is a long movie but it is extremely accurate and inspiring!
