DESCRIPTION:
The term "satyagraha" was conceived and developed by Mahatma Gandhi. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in his autobiography how Gandhi's theory influenced his ideas regarding the civil rights movement in the United States:

"The whole concept of Satyagraha (Satya is truth which equals love, and agraha is force; Satyagraha, therefore, means truth force or love force) was profoundly significant to me. As I delved deeper into the philosophy of Gandhi, my skepticism concerning the power of love gradually diminished, and I came to see for the first time its potency in the area of social reform....It was in this Gandhian emphasis on love and nonviolence that I discovered the method for social reform that I had been seeking." -MLK, Jr.

He later when on to refer to Satyagraha as "Soul Force" in his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
