H.D. Thoreau and M.L. King: Concerning Civil Disobedience.

Abstract: (5 pp). Thoreau was revived to popular icon status in the sixties, as his messages were brought back into popularity by Martin Luther King. For King , the writings of Thoreau provided an example of the path of nonviolent resistance. In this discussion we will use a cognitive approach to see how Henry David Thoreau in "Resistance to Civil Government" (1849), influences a "Letter from the Burmingham Jail" (1961) by Martin Luther King.
