Did Martin Luther King Jr. make the revolution, or did the revolution make him? Why?

Martin Luther King, Jr. had many great qualities. He was a
great leader, speaker, organizer, very passionate, etc. I do not think he made The
Movement but I do think he had a great deal to do with its
success.

Martin Luther King, Jr. advocated non-violence and
peacefulness. I think this is very important because if he had not done so many of the
protests, sit ins, marches, etc. may have been violent. This could have destroyed
everything. Violence is not the message he wanted to get out, rather he wanted the
issues of equally brought out into the open. He was very successful in doing
this.
