I'm talking about the black churches. So often when people talk about the civil rights movements, they forget the enormous roll blacks played in the movement. I'm not saying it happened here, but when you look at the black churches, you don't think "Wow- what a lot of existentialists." Or I should say, I do not.

I also happen to know a lot of Quakers were involved. And you can't ignore the influence of the Quakers on Rustin.

So sure, I agree existentialism was "in the air" but so was a lot of other stuff. And it was the mix that made the times, not just one element of the mix.
