I think part of issue is that because the Jesse's, the Al's have not stepped down and out of the spotlight, they could be overshadowing someone younger. Anything happens within the Black community, the media calls Jesse and Al first, even though they may not represent the interests of most Blacks in the US. I think if they stepped down, it would allow some younger, less-well-known (ie local) leaders to step forward.
