I disagree that Gandhi was non-violent, as his action was self-inflicted violence. Starving himself would have caused irreparable damage to his body, and really is almost akin to self mutilation. King I would agree with, but I would also point out that overall that almost 80 years after his death, minority groups still experience many forms of systemic racisms. He pushed the needle, but not very far in my opinion.
