The civil rights movement in this country wouldn't have been successful with ONLY it either.
There was very real violence in the civil rights movement. MLK gets alot of face time because he is good PR ... but the Black Panthers, Race Riots, and other localized events of violence stirred the pot incredibly and made the PTB realize they had to really sit down and deal with this.
Do you think Martin Luther King didn't have armed security guards? The racists and those opposed to him did eventually shoot him down, but without protection (the threat of violence) , there are plenty of people who would have ended his life far earlier and you would have never heard a fraction of the speeches he used to inspire the masses.
It is easy to be non-violent, when there are those with large sticks behind you affording you that luxury.
HOW did the CIVIL RIGHTS movement really HAPPEN .
MLK was great and he sure didn't do it by himself. There were plenty of civil rights leaders and methods and philosophies, and I don't blame you for not knowing. Who researches the truth of the 50s and 60s?
