Nonviolence is motivated by the attempt to be heard in hopes that action will change the reform of the separate but equal idealism in the United States. The nonviolent protest actions were done by the African American community of 1963, these protesters were met by brutal retaliation from the police in many places around the country. The peaceful protest was enforcing their robbed rights of freedom of speech, this is why they demanded action to be taken such as Martin Luther King says in his letter from the Birmingham Jail, “non-violent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such tension that a community that has consistently refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue…it can no longer be ignored.” In this quote …show more content…
This in all is a peaceful act that is simply advocating their first amendment to freedom of speech. Even though these protesters are wishing to take the protest into the streets for many reasons it could go wrong, such as what happened back then back in the peaceful protest of Gorge Floyed the police had a significant shift in mood to the protest since in both instances protesters were faced with police brutality and guns were shot people were hurt and killed.

MLK was not afraid of the law as he believed there should be changes to be done for the justice of all those who were being oppressed. Morally I agree with the peaceful actions that Mr. King did throughout his life he advocated for the oppressed and demanded the attention of those who were turning a blind eye to the neglected civil rights that they were being denied. King’s actions on breaking the law were justifiable because these were the only majors in which the people would take responsibility to change the broken justice system in which they justified “separate but equal” nonsense. King's compulsion to maintain calm as he and his following demanded what is rightfully theirs will always be something I will view as morally right and
