Nonviolence also "works" when there is a violent group that makes change necessary, which your movement can then be used to undercut. Like socialists being used to undercut leftists, or MLK's liberal civil rights being used to undercut the black panthers' marxism.

Think your timeline is a little off. Youre thinking of malcolm x not the panthers. They came later.

King was also coming around pretty steadily.

also CIA and FBI had a big hand in orchestrating how those movements ended up. FOI in recent years shows just how much manipulation was going on in the background to try and prevent any social changes and if they were to succeed, damage control them to levels that are reversible (like we see today)
