AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.11
What might have happened if Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolent approach was not widely adopted during Civil Rights Movement?
Segregation policies would continue without disruption or challenge.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 wouldn’t pass due to lack of public empathy towards movement’s cause.
No significant change would occur because different approaches produce same results ultimately due to popular support for anti-segregation.
Violence may become an accepted means of expression leading to potential social instability and stronger governmental repression.
