Explain what non-violent direct action is and why it can be so successful. ​

Nonviolent direct action may include sit-ins, strikes, street blockades, sabotage, and counter-economics. Violent direct action may include political violence, assault, arson and property destruction.

Explanation:

Martin Luther King Jr.'s decision to utilize nonviolence was based on religious principles. In fact, King discovered the use of nonviolent action as a political tool through learning about Gandhi's success in India.

King's approach was specifically Christian in orientation, drawing on his own status as a minister and the centrality of the Church in the lives of the Montgomery, Alabama, African-Americans who were the first protestors he led. His speeches utilized the inspirational crescendo structure of African-American sermonizing and he typically used biblical themes in them. This provided a deeper source of unity than the specific issue at hand and his able lieutenants were drawn from the rolls of black preachers.

King's methods were  "step-wise." The King Center lists six:

Step One. Information gathering

Step Two. Education

Step Three. Personal commitment

Step Four. Negotiations

Step Five. Direct action

Step Six. Reconciliation

Creating opportunities for resolution without confrontation and ensuring that both proponents and adversaries have sufficiently accurate information to make decisions both about the issue and the process.
