Abstract
This book concludes with a discussion of the criticism by political activists—ranging from Marcus Garvey to former Urban League staffer Abram L. Harris—of the National Urban League. They pointed to the group's failure to adequately address the real-world concerns of the Afro-American masses. Garvey, a black nationalist, and Harris, a left-leaning economist, occupied different niches in Afro-American politics; nevertheless, both claimed that the League's ties to white business and philanthropic organizations led the group to pursue a conciliatory agenda that benefited only a select few. By the conclusion of the modern civil rights movement, the charge that the National Urban League's vision was far removed from the concerns and dispositions of most blacks resonated well beyond the bounds of political activists.
