How is the Civil Rights movement not an example of compromise and non-violent demonstrations working in the face of violence? Instead of just killing each other, people from all backgrounds decided to stop fighting and actually
talk to each other. The racists compromised with them by allowing seperate but equal facilities. This eventually led to equal and integrated facilities, and finally things got to the point where everyone used the same facilities without even thinking about it. Things changed for the better, and it all started with people making compromises.
