Everybody should know Socrates, the philosopher. He died 399 BC after the famous trial of Socrates ordered his execution.

Gandhi. Of course.
Died on the 30th of January 1948 after freeing India.
Dr. King who lead america a great step forward without the use of any violence. He survived many assaults but died 1968.
Until then he was arrested more than 30 times.
