"Perhaps focus should be placed on a single key word: leadership.
Leaders become leaders naturally and by design.
The role of providence in such organizations as the SCLC is obvious. The role of Mr. [Lawrence] Guyot in founding the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party to upset the national party’s segregationist ways was by design.
How many more black leaders must be lost before we take a moral stand and redesign black leaders, whether their party designation is Democrat, Republican or other? Seems this is the time for a reckoning among blacks — the time for a moral majority of blacks to preach to and begin seriously grooming a new generation of black leadership.
Our leaders should become our leaders by design, not by chance." — Deborah Simmons, conservative columnist for The Washington Times
