“Non-violent resistance to injustice was a good strategy for southern civil rights leaders.”

in the 1960s, there was a  non-violent sit-in in Nashville. The minority race would sit-in an all white restaurant and demand to be served. Tens of thousands of students did these sit-ins. The owners wouldn't serve them food. Owners had no choice but to change the rules and serve them.

 Freedom Summer was an organization that failed because it was non-violent. Their non-violent nature allowed them to be vulnerable to attack. They tried to help African Americans participate in the government, but in return, lots were killed.
