With all due respect to her, that's nonsense. Nothing changes without the real threat of property and material damage.
The only reason protests work is that those in power understand that the next step could involve violent opposition. Though it’s more than a bit reductive, it’s not untrue to say MLK was only successful because Malcom X was the alternative.

I wonder how her grandson would feel. I personally hated my grandmother and could easily see the piece of shit doing this. I should put in my will, "don't listen to old people."
