While they never met each other, they were both influential leaders who advocated for nonviolent protest and change. Mandela was born in South Africa in 1918 and worked to end apartheid, while King was born in the United States in 1929 and led the American civil rights movement, achieving some change through nonviolent means and religious faith.
