Doesn't mean he was right. It was luck that his anger coincided with a variety of other factors, especially MLK, that brought about civil rights legislation. I'm not saying he was useless, I'm saying he was a pawn. He was just the latest in a long line of angry, ineffective young Black people until MLK provided the right foil to his anger. He didn't consciously do anything to advance the status of Black people, that I'm aware of.
