Martin Luther King Jr. believed that nonviolent resistance was the most effective method of protest in fighting for civil rights. He advocated for peaceful demonstrations, civil disobedience, and nonviolent resistance as a way to bring about social change and equality. King believed that violence only perpetuates more violence and that true change could only come through love and nonviolent action. His nonviolent approach was influenced by his Christian beliefs and the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi.
