Nonviolent Resistance - Let's go

Japanese: 非暴力抵抗 - ひぼうりょくていこう
Nonviolent Resistance - Let's go
Resisting authority through nonviolent means. On December 6, 1955, the Montgomery, Alabama, U.S. bus boycott began in opposition to racial discrimination on buses. Approximately 50,000 black citizens participated, and the boycott was victorious on December 21, 1956. This was a glorious victory for nonviolent resistance. The Rev. ML King, who led the boycott, pointed out the following five characteristics of nonviolent resistance: (1) it is not a method used by cowards, but rather a form of resistance; (2) it seeks to win friendship and understanding rather than defeat or insult those who oppose it; (3) the target of attack is not the person who does evil, but the power of evil itself; (4) it tolerates pain without retaliation; and (5) it does not hate those who oppose it, but rather treats them with love.
