Talk:Robert Parris Moses/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to Taylor Branch's book Pillar of Fire: America in the King Years 1963-65, Bob Moses quit SNCC in Feb of 1965, not in 1966, when Stokely Carmichael and the black power movement took over. According to Branch, who cites several sources, after making a speech to a gathering of SNCC staff workers in Atlanta (during which he announced he was changing his surname to Parris), Moses left the meeting and "never attended another SNCC meeting."
