There has been only a civil rights movement whose tone of voice was adapted to an audience of liberal whites. It served as a sort of buffer zone between them and angry young blacks . . . . “An organization which claims to speak for the needs of a community—as does the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee—must speak in the tone of that community, not as somebody else's buffer zone . . . . “The need for psychological equality is the reason why SNCC today believes that blacks must organize in the black community.

of injustice, even if we attempt to inflict it upon the rich. Those who suffer the most harm will be the poor . . . .
