Talk:James Bevel

New source becomes available

edit

There is a major new source for this page (and for other 1960s civil rights movement pages), the recently published book Waging a Good War: A Military History of the Civil Rights Movement, 1954-1968 by Thomas E. Ricks. For the purposes of this page, although it is a very good source for the individual movements, Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, Martin Luther King Jr., and many other Wikipedia topics, it seems to have finally given James Bevel much of his proper credit in a mainstream book. Hopefully page editors on all of those topics can make use of this source.

I'll personally get back to editing this page, adding requested references and more, as promised to an exceptionally enthusiastic editor who respects this page enough to show me that I should as well. My attention and energy have been barely on it for years, partly from the fact that I've been surprised but not surprised that more editors haven't jumped in and edited the article. As a subject matter expert on Bevel's work during the 1960s I'll only edit on that decade, although Ricks' book above contains updates about Bevel's life until his death in 2008. Hopefully others will join in editing this topic as it could, of course, benefit from more editors and references. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:39, 18 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to credit that same editor for the inspiration to create Category:Historians of the civil rights movement, thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:55, 18 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Since the 1980s are outside my editing date range for this page can someone check this one out and add back the below section which was removed during a large revert. It's a good edit and SEED should be on the page, not just something I'll add (I try to keep to the 1960s information). Randy Kryn (talk) 16:39, 28 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks:

In the 1980s and 1990s, Bevel founded and worked on Students for Education and Economic Development (SEED).[1]
