If I'm trying to get from point A to point B, but can't because a man is standing in my right-of-way and won't move, and there's no easy way to go around, I would consider that man to be disrupting the peace regardless of whether he was Martin Luther King or the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. The righteousness of his message doesn't enter into it.
If you disagree with this, do you also think that having the road blocked by a Klan rally should be considered peaceful?

This is why the civil rights movement was effective without violence - people like you got agitated, and the police responded by siccing dogs and water hoses on the peaceful protests who were just "in your way." It forced people to wake up to the violence they faced every day.
