Non-violence was successfully used in the US during the civil rights protests. The quote feels correct for those protesting because change is slow and there are certainly some people without conscious. The non-violence movement displayed very clearly the oppressor and the oppressed and it eventually swayed public opinion enough to lead to lasting political change.
I don’t think the civil rights movement was at all “non-violent”. just not “mass violence”.
outside the white washing it’s gotten. there was lots of violent and “silent violence”(using paint “bombs”) to disrupt and force attention to the needs of the many. from the desires of the few.
