Moving from a less civil fight for equal rights was probably the best thing that happened to the fight because some of the arguments against letting African AMericans be equal with caucasians was that they were nothing but animals or they couldn't fend for themselves and that they needed whites to survive political violence would only support this idea by showing that black folk would only abuse their freedom by attacking the government and state related things but other things like self defense helped show that black folk were human and knew how to talk things or at least try to and even if they couldn’t they showed that they could defend themselves and didn’t need the whites to protect them/fend for them because they were perfectly of doing it themselves. People like MLK jr. really helped show how blacks didn’t need whites because they knew how to get their point across and not have to be violent or use guns. I think that without one era the other era would as good as pointless because the self defense era helped form the non-violent protest era but without the non-violent protest era African Americans may have never had the same freedoms as
