I thinks it's fitting that his obit that I'll link is an active blog. James Forman and James Farmer always seemed to be forgotten alongside MLK, Roy Wilkins, Malcolm X, and the later generation of Jesse Jackson and company. Farmer's autobiography (Farmer, James. Lay Bare the Heart: An Autobiography of the Civil Rights Movement. New York: Arbor House, 1985) helped frame the post-war socialist/Jewish/antifascist/antiracist movement as a whole, rather than merely "the civil rights movement."
