Courage And Triumph

At the peak of the struggle for racial equality and political freedom in America, the quest for leadership among black organizations, that is, civil rights/political organizations was a complex matter. Sometimes the jockeying for power was glaring enough to be seen by anyone, but more often than not it was subtle. To further complicate the matter, some black Americans said the multiplicity of black organizations was not a problem. They argued that each organization was doing a good job in its own way and they thought there should even be more organizations than already existed so that the ''enemy'' might succumb in the face of persistent harassment by the multifarious organizations.
