Mlot-Mroz even had a "Katie Daviscourt" moment when he attended a Poor Peoples' march and was reportedly attacked by civil rights protesters. This "vicious attack by the radical left" made national news...the only problem was, it was all a lie intended to discredit the civil rights movement.

This idea was not invented by Sullivan or the SCLC but it did spread through them through different communities. I’ve seen it in research I’ve been doing on civil rights in Seattle.

Wait. It’s me just finding out that he’s the reason behind Bayard Rustin’s resignation from the civil rights movement and the SCLC. 🤯
If any of you happen to be experts on Adam Clayton Powell, SR. please let me know! I want to find some of his anti-gay sermons from 1929. He blamed the Great Depression on the gays!

Though America holds up MLK as the "model Black" now, as opposed to other "radical Blacks", he was regarded as a major enemy to the American government while he was alive. His views on capitalism and how his politics and views on integration evolved before his assassination are not discussed enough.

MLK and the SCLC would’ve told you to get lost before you even entered the door, tankie.

They literally had an entire bureaucracy dedicated to mobilizing cringe libs.

That said, I wonder if it wouldn't be wise for the anti-MAGA movement to begin trying to develop the organization and training along the lines of the SCLC.

The SCLC raised 205k in 1963, which is about 2.2 million in 2025 dollars. That’s simply not very much in modern terms.

That’s not a knock on the SCLC, whose achievement is monumental. But we’re working with vastly larger movements today.

Consider the experience of sitting in church in the Deep South in the early sixties—or, hell, in a white church in the North—and having your pastor speak about SCLC and then pass the basket.

It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the civil rights movement/grassroots operations. Organizations like SCLC, the NAACP, etc. couldn't work without those donations and they represented a much deeper commitment. Also, can't ignore that many starting local funds for activism/educating students.

It's so funny seeing this complaint, because you know who *definitely* turned away people who insisted on Luigipoasting on their protest signs? That's right: the goddamn Civil Rights Movement.

The SCLC had an entire bureaucracy for purging weirdos and tankies.

I had someone in my mentions just suggest to me that going to a No Kings rally in 2025 is more solid, more substantial evidence of participation in a movement than donating money to SCLC in the sixties.

C'mon, man. No.
October 16, 2025 at 9:59 PM
How many individual donors do you think those church numbers represent? Remember—a dollar today was worth $10 in 1963. Think about all the individual churchgoers in Black churches in the Jim Crow South putting money in the collection plate for SCLC on a Sunday.
October 16, 2025 at 9:57 PM
we could add in the membership of SNCC and SCLC, which were in many ways the core of the movement, if we like. what do you think the appropriate set of organizations for comparison today would be?
October 16, 2025 at 8:12 PM
And while I'm up, you can't measure the number of participants in the CRM by comparing the March on Washington with a particular No Kings march, or even aggregating. How many people donated to SCLC and SNCC? How many did local organizing? How many people wore pro–civil rights pins?

I would be surprised if he doesn't, he has a masters in the history of Reconstruction.

But all that said, what the hell is your point? If they were smaller, they were smaller. Only a very motivated reading had this as "Will Stancil thinks the SCLC was small potatoes compared to 50501."

Check out some #CoolScienceImages (with music by Zara Larsson) from a @nature.com study. A team led by @michellemonje.bsky.social & Humsa Venkatesh showed that neuronal activity plays a crucial role in small cell #LungCancer (#SCLC) pathogenesis. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #FluorescenceFriday 🧪

My OES Sister, reading this made me have flashbacks. I knew as much about the NAACP, SCLC, and the Baptist Training Union as I knew about my ABCs and arithmetic in elementary school.

Before I was raised in the lodge, I was raised by people who organized and hit the streets in the 60s.

like the SCLC and SNCC had membership rolls and mailing lists, I promise you.

Who accomplished more: The SCLC and SNCC, or the Weathermen?

The SCLC made its members sign up under their real names, and they did indeed face harassment, and the SCLC goddamn won.
