    MLK advocated violence once in his career? The Philippines didnt do a violent protest either as far as Im aware.

      They’re saying that MLK was successful because he was a peaceful alternative to violent contemporary protests. Without that backdrop, he would’ve been less effective.

        Okay so what about the Phillipines though? Thats an example of peaceful protests working. Wouldn’t we as humans exhaust every peaceful method first if examples show it’s effective?
