“A NAACP Outlier”: The Story of Robert F. A Williams

12 of 28:

Robert F. Williams, the president of the Monroe, North Carolina NAACP, caused friction with the nonviolent wing of the Civil Rights movement. Even though his method of armed self-defense proved to have some validity, like when they ran off the KKK from his VP’s home, many people in the NAACP refused to get onboard. The biggest obstacle was that the biggest funders for the NAACP were white progressives that were diametrically opposed to black citizens using armed defense.

Williams’ authored “Negroes with Guns” that chronicles his experience.
