A Loss Of Purpose - Or Just Lost On Purpose?

"A lot of us who spent many, many years marching outside have moved inside. We've been out there for a long time, and we decided we were ready to pull back and let the new leadership emerge. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a good march, but we saw the tide was turning and people weren't so engrossed with marching anymore."
Rev. Cecil Williams, chairman of the Northern California Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Observance Committee, on the disbanding of the group - after 24 years - to make room for anyone who can lead, without the Baby Boomer's outlook, in The San Francisco Chronicle.
