Good and Evil in the American Civil Rights Struggle Author: Clayborne Carson (Professor of History, Stanford University) Format: Audio Download Audio Length: 1 hour Rating: Not rated Price: $6.95       Publisher's Summary: In any great struggle, the movement should define the leader, not the leader the movement. Professor Clayborne Carson, an expert on the American Civil Rights struggle, examines the leaders that determined the nation's direction in the '50s and '60s. He compares Martin Luther King, Jr., a charismatic and adored civil rights icon, to organizers such as Ella Baker and Bob Moses who believed in letting leadership emerge from within a group. Also discussed are King's failed "saviour" theory and the subsequent emphasis on personal responsibility, a deeply-rooted notion of the black struggle even today.
