The 1960s Legacy of African
American Leadership
by Lea E. Williams
The repressive climate of racial
hatred in America that spawned the
1960s civil rights movement also
galvanized a generation of bold,
persuasive, driven leaders who
embodied the qualities of servant
leadership. In a time of conflict,
turm oil, and tragedy, these
passionate and committed African
Americans emerged to lead a
generation from the
cruelties of segregation to
the revolution ofcivil rights reform.
Beginning with the 1954 Brown v.
Board o f Education SupremeCourt
case, which led to the forced
integration of public schools in the
South, Servants o f the People
follows the lives of six leaders as
they willingly risk their lives forthe
civil rights cause: A. Philip
R a n d o lp h ,
Frederick
D.
P a tte rs o n ,
T h u rg o o d
Marshall, Whitney
M. Young, Adam
Clayton Powell,
Jr., and Fannie Lou
