Portrait by Del Bey
Marketing, human resources, civil rights, social justice. What do you think of the Civil Rights Movement Today? "The Civil Rights Movement today is lackadaisical. In the sense that our organizations for the most part have not been able to mobilize people to vote and to convince people that voting leads to economcial power. They are not focused on making the community economically viable. With John Ashcroft and George Bush as president people are becoming more and more concerned. I donªt think it is going to take much to get people mobilized. I envision a day when one morning we will wake-up and in the 18th to 20th largest markets in this country. African-Americans and other people who believe we must change this country will get into our cars drive onto the freeways of America turn off our cars and walk home leaving the freeways clogged unmercifully. Then take our phones off the hook. This will tie up the communications and roadways of this country for about three or four days. That is all it would take to make this government begin to see that it must do something about equalizing our opportunities. I think that is what we have to do." |
