During the 1950s and 60s, civil rights leader Whitney Young navigated a
divided society. He challenged America's white business and political
leaders directly, but his efforts to open the doors for equal
opportunity were often attacked by Black Americans who felt his methods
were in contrast with the Black Power Movement of the time.
