An interesting topic indeed! I can't recommend too many specific sources,
except to say that I have seen repeated references --in various places-- to
the CRM's impact on (a) So. African liberation movements, (b) Northern Ireland
self-determination movement, and (c) the German Greens (cf. Fritjof Capra &
Charlene Spretnak's "Green Promise" for the latter. Also, of course, the
interaction between the Civil Rights (and black power) Movement and the African
anti-colonialism movement. Lots of important connections. I think the Civil
Rights Movement was quite possibly the most significant single pro-democratic
movement of the century, and that includes those in the Eastern bloc (another
possible impact to explore).

When Dublin (Ireland) postal workers occupied the main post office there in
the early 1960s (I think it was in 1963), they sat in and sang "We Shall
Overcome."
