The people who made the Montgomery bus boycott work were mostly very low income working people.
The people who made the Freedom Rides work and who brought about divestment in South Africa were mostly college students.
And that calypso singer along with a ball player, Jackie Robinson, put together a program to sponsor US college education for promising students from Africa -- one of whom was Barack Obama Sr.
So, I tend to think that ordinary people have much more power and influence in the long run than any politician who gets caught up in the petty political "realities" of the moment.
