Portrait by Del Bey Human rights, corrections, psychometrist. What do you think of the Civil Rights Movement Today? "I am not sure that what we have today can be called a Civil Rights Movement, at least not in the historical sense that we use that term. I think of current efforts as being a movement for social and economic justice rather than a movement for civil rights per se - although the battle over affirmative action could be so termed. However, many people obviously do not see affirmative action as falling in the same category with rights such as fair employment, fair housing, the right to use public accommodations, and public services, or the right to vote. I think that energy might be better spent on early intervention to make sure that children are properly prepared to compete academically regardless of which way that fight goes." Survival "Survival is the goal of myriad tactics and techniques developed during 300 years of slavery and another hundred years of Jim Crow." |
