A large number of the blacks in those cities outside the South were often pretty recent arrivals, within a generation or two - the community was in flux. I think you find that riots/civil unrest are much more likely to occur when one or more group hasn't been there that long. There's a special sort of tension against or between more recent arrivals who are trying to establish their place. Where people have lived for generations, they have more of a sense of place/geography/belonging, and it's less likely to lead to a sense of chaos when there is a sense of oppression and dissatisfaction.
My guess is that the role of the black church in the South was also more dominant a la SCLC, and so that drove a lot of the response.
