King (January 16, 2006)
King offered the non-violent vision at a time when frustration was fomenting violence. Others fomenting violence made the non-violent course of action more appealing. The non-violent avenue is more likely to overcome in a society that tolerates free speech and protects due process. The success of King was as much a product of his determined and incremental challenge to American apartheid as it was of the resilience of American society to respond to his challenge to injustice.
