All three used methods of NONVIOLENT civil disobediance like sit-ins (going to a white only restaurant and sitting therebut not resisting when cops show up to arrest you) or demonstrations (but not riots) and boycots. They disobeyed unjust laws in order to show people how wrong the laws were.

Civil Disobedience is like Martin Luther King Jr. having sit-ins at restaurants. It's called civil because the person is not fighting physically and not having a riot. Gandhi did this by refusing to eat food for months at a time while he was jailed. I am not sure about Nelson Mandela tho. It's peacefully petitioning or protesting a law that a person or group of people think is wrong. Go to about.com and type in Civil Disobedience in quotations and see what comes up. It should have good stuff, it's a reputable site.
