look at the goal... equal rights and little loss of life.. from that point it was a success.. lets see what might have happened if it was a violent movement... mass murder, deaths and possibly the genocide of a race (especially here in the US. from that point it was not a success.
there is increasing militant activity.. because one group believes that the gains were short lived and or just to pacify that group , some believe that that group has actually loss ground since that movement... further more some believe that there is a lack of interest in such areas (if one is not moving forward than one is moving backwards.
Others believe that their livelyhood, freedoms, practice of life's enjoyment and even watering down the "pure" race is developing at an alarming rate.. they fear the loss of their cultuiral identity. and ability to support their families..
with both there is a fear of increased violence and many other forms of stereotypes.

It has been said that two different anything will always struggle to be/keep their favor... plants will choke out another plant to insure its survival... given we are a little more advanced than plants.

I think it showed acceptance between different people minds. It shows progress in social behaviour towards humans, and you should always treat someone the way that you would like to be treated.
