Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi led the fight for Indian nationalism against British rule in the 1920s. His celebrated use of nonviolent protest inspired similar movements in support of rights and freedoms around the globe. “Mahatma,” which means “venerable” in Sanskrit, was an honorific name given to him in 1914, in South Africa. Gandhi was assassinated on Jan. 30, 1948, at the age of 78. His birthday, Oct. 2, is commemorated as a national holiday in India, and is celebrated worldwide as the International Day of Nonviolence.            Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American activist and humanitarian who became the leader of the African- American Civil Rights Movement. Similar to Gandhi, he became known for advancing civil rights through nonviolent civil disobedience. In 1963, King helped organize the March on Washington, where he famously delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. Before his death, in 1964, King received the Nobel Peace Prize. He was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal posthumously.Mother Teresa (1910-1997) Mother Teresa was an Albanian-born Roman Catholic nun. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, and cared for the destitute. At that time, few people were concerned about poor, sick, orphaned and dying people. Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. She died on Sept. 5, 1997, at the age of 87. In 2003, she was made a saint and was given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.                            Rosa Parks (1913–2005) Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama and she was an American Civil rights pioneer. Her refusal to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus spurred a city-wide boycott and other efforts to end segregation. The city of Montgomery had little choice and lifted the law requiring segregation on public buses. Rosa Parks received many accolades during her lifetime, including the NAACP’s highest award.                                                               Joan of Arc (c. 1412–1431) Joan of Arc was a martyr, saint and military leader who, acting under divine guidance, led the French army to victory over the English during the Hundred Years’ War. Joan of Arc nicknamed “The Maid of Orléans,” was born in 1412 in Domrémy and she is a national heroine of France. At age 18, she led the French army to victory over the English at Orléans. A year later, she was captured and burned at the stake as a heretic by the English and their French collaborators. She was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint more than 500 years later, on May 16, 1920.me pueden traducir eso x favor!!!!​
