Explanation:

The Beats (Beat Generation) emulated Henry David Thoreau's belief in civil disobedience. Thoreau was a prominent advocate of civil disobedience as a form of protest against unjust laws, and his ideas influenced the Beats' counter - cultural and non - conformist stances. Lawrence Ferlinghetti was a Beat - related poet and publisher, Amiri Baraka was associated with the Black Arts Movement, and Ezra Pound was a modernist poet, none of whom are primarily known for being the source of civil disobedience influence for the Beats like Thoreau.

A. Henry David Thoreau
