In From Protest to Politics, Bayard Rustin argues that the era of street protest and moral appeal must give way to organized political engagement and economic strategy. He acknowledges the achievements of desegregation and voting rights, but warns that legal reforms alone cannot dismantle the structure of racial inequality: resistance must become governance, and protest must become politics.
