The wealth gap persists despite advances in civil rights. Why? Civil rights organizations didn't have a unified, comprehensive plan for economic development. Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam, on the other hand, did have a plan and it was working...but Christian civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Roy Wilkins and Whitney Young, just didn't cooperate with Black Muslims in any meaningful way.
