Don't forget what Dr. King had to say about non-violence -- that it wasn't going to bring about immediate change. That all it would do is provide an opportunity for those opposing the change to see things a different way.

It's about planting the seed. It's about taking the first step. Just because you can't see immediate results never means that your action is unimportant or won't change the world.

Let me see if I can find the exact quote from Dr. King and if I can I'll post it here.

Peace.
