      ab: The Civil Rights Movement (CRM) is re-examined to provide lessons for a renewed labor movement in this age of globalization and the accompanying obliteration of both labor and basic human rights. It is argued that the CRM was successful not because of non-violent civil disobedience. Instead, radical counter-ideology, violent self-defense, societal education, independent movement media, and even rebellion supplemented and made possible all other protests. In fact, it was through direct action that rights were finally wrestled from government. Therefore, it is proposed a new social movement be formed to promote both labor and human rights in the United States based on the tactics of the CRM which have been historically proven to be effective.
