Martin Luther King
Imagine if you were a African American during 1963 time when Martin Luther King was doing his protests, would you support Martin Luther or go to violence?

The start of the Civil right movement was at the March on Washington on where 250,000 people marched to the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King gave his famous “I have a Dream” speech.

If they hadn’t chosen peace like Malcolm X did, and then the problem would have just gotten worse. The marches and protests were important stepping stones to pass the civil rights.

Martin Luther said after a visit about nonviolence “I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity.” (Crash Course
