    Martin Luther King Jr. and other Civil Rights Movement leaders - although not all of them - were firmly committed to nonviolence as a way to resist, push for and effectively achieve social change, and they rejected the way revolutions in the past had occurred (involving hate and violence), finding this way impractical in a multiracial society. Instead, they promoted a series of nonviolent, yet powerful and meaningful, actions to achieve legal equality, such as marches, protests, and civil disobedience.
