Carei Thomas
Portrait by Del Bey

Pianist, composer, artist.

What do you think of the Civil Rights Movement Today?


"I think it´s weak. We have these neat salon type of affairs on
community TV. It´s done in a esoteric kind of way... It seems somewhat
self-serving... There are some other ´black leaders´ that have community
meetings on the north side...But, we talk among ourselves.

We have run smack dab out into the total fabric. We can´t be hoarding
amongst each other, and patting each other on the back... masturbating each
other with our problems and our needs to see who can say it the best, the
most articulate. When in fact there needs to be A-C-T-I-O-N ongoing. I
don´t mean do some action and then we are not heard from for the next six
months. There needs to be a continuity of service that happens to really
make the resounding civil rights issues known and understood."
