March on Washington
The March on Washington was a civil rights movement to abtain Jobs and Freedom for all people regardless of race. It took place in Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963. Attending were about 250,000 people, which made it the largest protest/demontration ever seen in the capital. It was organized by a number of civil rights and religious groups and was indefinetly led by Martin Luther King Jr. who also gave the speech in the capital.

Supreme Court ordering Montgomery to integrate its bus system. Also this ended up as a humoungous stepping stone because one of the leaders of the boycott, a young pastor named Martin Luther King Jr., emerged as a national leader of the American civil rights movement. This event triggered the change of the U.S.

Watts Riot
I do not believe this riot was a success due to the fact that so many died and were injured and arrested. When 34 people die in event, you cannot consider it a success. It was violent, brutal, and barbaric with looting and property damage occuring.
Explain your response to the following question: Based on the outcomes of the events you chose, do you think violent or nonviolent protest strategies were more effective?
I believe that based on the outcomes of the events I chose I think that non-violent protest strategies are the most effective because if done correctly without any violence the true meaning of the protest can reach out and touch the people that witness it. If done violently, people would just think them as agressive being and wouldn't take them
