The game lasts as long as the King does, and the Queen has the greatest range. The pawns have little immediate power, yet they offer an abundance of protection to the throne. On the highest level, victory cannot be achieved without the pawns without the followers. This metaphor comes to life in Black politics.
Blacks are concerned with the lack of a strong leader.
While Kosovo renewed our faith in Rev. Jesse Jackson, we are still hesitant to label him our leader. Collin Powell, Oprah Winfrey, and Louis Farakhann all wield incredible power, but none of them are the type of leader our generation is searching for. Without any recent major victories for civil rights, our will to stride forward seems diminished if not erased. Many see the death of progress as synonymous with the death of leadership. In the face of so much political disrupt and disappointment, it's hard to imagine a time when revolutionaries like these existed.
