Black unity in the modern struggle for liberation will only emerge as blacks everywhere commit themselves to a multi-strategy approach in which the distinctiveness of the various black groups in the country can express itself. Too many have now for too long assumed that ideologies can be superimposed on black differences and that unity of purpose in the struggle for liberation is dependant upon the political education of blacks into believing the same thing. The richness of black political life is only impaired by those who hold tribalism up to be a political bogey.
