Mahatma Gandhi influenced Martin Luther King Jr. different ways. King loved Gandhi's character and his leading skills. Martin even decided to use an idea that Gandhi used to try and free India from the British Empire. That idea was the non-violent protest. Ever since King had found out about this method used by Gandhi, he loved it, and soon became a non-violent leader of the black civilization in America.
