False.
While nonviolent protest was a major strategy of the early civil rights movement, by the late 1960s many demonstrations either involved or produced violence. Examples:
- The 1967 Detroit and Newark riots and other urban uprisings (mid–late 1960s) involved widespread violence and looting.
- After Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in April 1968, riots erupted in more than 100 U.S. cities (e.g., Washington, D.C.; Baltimore; Chicago).
- Some groups (e.g., the Black Panther Party) endorsed armed self‑defense and were involved in armed confrontations with police.
Tensions, police actions, and changing tactics meant protests in that period included both peaceful and violent events.
