Abstract


Against racial segregation. Non-violence and its philosophical roots in Martin Luther King’s social thought

This struggle led by the civil rights movement led to the desegregation and completely changed the face of the United States in the 2nd half of the XXth century. In addition, the article points to the philosophical source and justification, which formed the foundation of M.L. King’s thought.
