- Description:
- Newspaper article discussing a rift between traditional civil rights leaders and younger activists who favor "Black power" demonstrated at a conference on voter registration and political action in South Carolina. Both groups agreed that Black leaders need to do more to reach out to the poor and young, but they disagreed on how to achieve this goal. Traditional leaders argued that Black voters should focus on building political power within the existing system, while younger activists argued that Black voters should be more willing to use direct action and protest.
