GandHi and Peaceful Protest • Gandhi popularized the peaceful protest movement. • Britain owned India at the time, and Gandhi and most Indians wanted to be their own country. • This put India’s own ‘Civil Rights Movement’ into action. • Many tactics and ideas were inspired by Gandhi and his actions.

This was their first case dealing with the civil rights movement. • The Warren Court proved the Jim Crow Laws unconstitutional, claiming that their ‘Separate but equal’ conditions did not exist. • Brown vs. Board of education was the case that overturned the Plessy vs. Ferguson.
