Bingo Tom Iron. A concept the Negro "Civil Rights" movement learned from the communist was "unified front". In short you pick your allies from anyone who shares your view of the task at hand. So while the blacks had their own politics and power struggles behind the scenes to the public and the media they were all 'united brothers and sisters". The other thing they had was a few charismatic leaders that could get people to take risks for the movement. I am not talking about commiting major crimes I am talking about sit ins, boycotts, public demonstrations circulating and signing petitions and open visible support or non-support for political candidates. This is not rocket science put you do have to have a leader that can motivate large groups of people. and I agree while Mr. Taylor is an excellent Intellectual leader he does not hook me emotinally.
