I’m not saying protests didn’t have a use. Just that their main use was overshadowed. Peacefully sitting in somewhere didn’t do much. It was the legal things it lead to that did something. Without the legal precedents set, it would have just been brushed back under the rug eventually. You need to incite change, not just annoyance.
