Do you think the Civil Rights Movement is heading in the right direction?

I think the Civil Rights Movement is dead, while there are an absolute few courageous leaders who remain vigilant.

Not outdated, but needs to step up. We need to demonstrate more for the things we need to help young people succeed.

It’s never outdated. We have to reunite ourselves with the wisdom of the struggle.

I think it has to be replaced with new evolution, independent, civil, realist party. Race isn’t the factor it was yesterday. The important thing is that we need a new reality movement in the 21st century that shows the contributions that we all made to help build America.

They’re not as vocal today as in the past. When Glenn Beck brought the issue back to the forefront that was the first time you heard about the Civil Rights Movement in a long time.

No. As long as you can see injustice in the city there’s nothing outdated, but we do need to get back to “we the people” instead of the “me.”
