Jesse Bodkins- yes, I believe nonviolent demonstrations were more effective than violent ones, because you get more flies with honey than you do vinegar. I mean if you go and are appropriate with someone and talking nicely they are more willing to listen and respond back appropriately. If you respond in violence, with nasty talk and weapons it might lite a fire under their 🤬, but your never going to accomplish anything.

Yes, I believe nonviolent demonstrations were more effective than violent demonstration. I believe this so as nonviolence demonstrations that were getting attacked, showed the true violence and hatred towards African Americans. As at the time if "Negroes" were to be even a little out of line they were beaten, murdered, or imprisoned. I believe Martin's philosophy was correct in showing white Americans that African Americans could change the United States without force and riots. African Americans had no choice since even being with white folks is enough for white people to become violent to peaceful protesters.

I believe that nonviolent demonstrations were more effective than violent demonstrations. While violent demonstrations brought attention like riots, but it caused people to be drawn away for what they were rioting for. Nonviolent demonstrations like sit ins also brought attention and allowed people to see that people want change without violence. - Nevaeh W.

I believe that the non violent demonstrations  were more effective then the violent ones I believe this because if they did it nonviolently they got more people to listen to them. if you are trying to get your point across violently people are going to be more afraid of you not wanting to help your cause.

I believe that non violent demonstrations are more effective because they are not supposed to use violence to forward something that violence is not needed and that it will make public opinion sway and differ because of violent acts can scare the public and that it will make more people look at the non violent demonstration's

I believe non violent protests would be more effective not only because of what they did to show their disagreement but also because no one was hurt. Violence would only anger the whites and cause more violence. The smartest thing you can do in a protest is not hurt anyone so the opposing side seems like the bad guy.

I believe non violent is the best way to go. Because it turns too many people away when there is violence.

I believe that non-violent demonstrations were much, much more effective than violent ones. I believe so because when a black man is violent against a white man, then the word gets out that a black man assaulted a white man, which hurts the original point.

Violent demonstrations provided publicity to the movement which led to more supporters, but I believe that nonviolent demonstrations were more effective. The public responded to events like sit-ins, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Little Rock Nine, and civil disobedience because it was a coalition that was being built; violence tends to scare people away.

I believe that nonviolent demonstrations were more effective than violent demonstrations because African Americans were using sit-ins and boycotts to disagree with the average white man's opinion. This help later because the Voting Rights act and the Civil Rights Act.

Example - Mr. Chorba - I agree that Dr. King and other Civil Rights Movement leaders were able to effectively make change by using non-violent methods. The passing of the  Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were a direct result of peaceful demonstrations,  like the demonstrations organized by the SCLC. In my opinion, violent demonstrations/ resistance not only caused harm to demonstrators and innocent bystanders (like the Watts Riots), but also portrayed a negative image to the cause of equality and equal justice for all.
