Covington on Civil Rights

The Civil Rights movement was never  meant to create wealth.  The Silver Rights movement, on the other hand, has this as its singular objective.  African Americans must shift their attention to the principal challenge they face – the acquisition and management of wealth.  Covington believes that the most dominant issue facing African Americans in the 21^st Century is that of Wealth Acquisition, and he is leading the effort to help the African American community meet the demands of this 21st Century Challenge.

The Civil Rights movement has ended, but the need for civil rights organizations has not.  The character of civil rights organizations, as a result, must change.  We have made profound advances since Brown v. Board of Education more than fifty years ago.  Through this half century, though, African Americans have not accumulated wealth at the same rate as other Americans.

African Americans have proliferated in every area but wealth creation.  We have more buying power than any other minority group in the United States.  There are more black elected officials, professionals, and college graduates as well.  The foundation for wealth-creation therefore has been established. 

The Civil Rights Movement created economic opportunities, and now the Silver Rights Movement must create the vehicle for seizing them.
