In King's Where Do We Go From Here?, his willingness to commit to non-violent resistance is accounted for in the following results of no backlash from its demonstrators and no incentive for riots. I can agree that Martin Luther King and his devoted followers' stance on non-violence was able to demand national attention due to their subjection towards repressive treatment from police. However, I do acknowledge Stokely Carmichael's assertion that the term non-violence was solely used when it applied to black people and their stance toward social advancement.

After assimilating Carmichael's perspective, what can be expected of people who are continually brutalized, ignored, and denied of a safe haven? Will they abide to passiveness? Despite of their ideological discrepancies, King and Stokely had one fundamental similarity, they faced the same obstacles of blacks' inactivity and acceptance of the status quo prior to the engagement of the marches, demonstrations, and political involvement.
