The very first civil right movement was invented by an Indian named Mahatma Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi was spiritual leader of India. He led the people of India to independence for civil rights and freedom across the world because the British were taking over their country and land of India. Gandhi’s first civil right movement begin in the year 1893 in South Africa where Indians were struggling for independence from the British Empire. At that time Gandhi was a lawyer.
Gandhi believed in non violence when he was protesting against the British Empire. When ever Gandhi follower fought back during the civil right movement, Gandhi would starve himself to death until his people quit fighting. The reason why he would starve himself is because Gandhi was a Hindu, which is a peaceful religion, When the people were fighting back in the movement, they were fighting in his name and Gandhi didn’t like that at all so that’s why he starved himself.
It took at least 52 years for Indian to gain control over their country; it’s all thanks to Gandhi for the peaceful civil right movement that he had made. If it wasn’t for Gandhi, the British Empire would still to control India.
