Phi Beta Sigma member James Forman, who was the executive secretary of SNCC died yesterday.

I remember seeing footage of him in the documentary "Eyes on the Prize"...he was a VERY charismatic and strong civil rights leader.

Yes, he was very dynamic. My condolences to his family and frat.
SNCC was considered the rebel rousers of the movement, but they got the students on board.
