militant massive non-violence. The March on Washington involved ~200k people and they all focused on one place. Not maybe a thousand folks hold signs here and maybe a couple of hundred folks hold signs there. (which seems to be our current game plan)
Having said that, I read a King speech the other day ("The Other America") and it sounds like it could've been written yesterday.
The question is, is militant massive non-violence effective against the problems that still plaque us sixty years after all these civil rights reforms were passed? The fact that we are still marching about basically the same set of problems suggest, no. Are we just not doing it right, since King?
