The correct answer is: Martin Luther King Jr. He participated in the founding of a pacifist group of which he was president until the day he died, this group participated in the civil rights movement through nonviolent protests. King led marches for the right to vote of African-Americans, the right to work, desegregation and other rights, getting them sanctioned as laws. All this was achieved through non-violent demonstrations.

The correct answer is Martin Luther King JR.

Martin Luther King JR advocated for non-violent resistance to Jim Crow laws and believed that the Civil Rights movement could only be successful if it was nonviolent.

The others on the list disagreed.
