Some civil rights groups have gone on the record opposing slavery in Sudan. Critics think they should be doing more. It's not a matter of popular democracy when it comes to human rights. One black leader who has spoken out is Reverend Chuck Singleton of the Loveland Church in California. Human rights come by demand.
Human rights come because somebody resists the powers that be and say it's got to change.
The anti slavery folks say they've approached some of the black civil rights organizations in this country and they've not been interested in the issue. I think that's an exaggeration to say they're not interested, but that they haven't responded on the level that we would expect, I think that's accurate to say. Leaders tend to get busy. When they get busy they become maintenance people. They've got to keep going what they got going already.
