| Despite this antimilitarist theme, Saunders's transformation comes through a clash between his initial point of view identifying Negro interests totally with war victory (similar to the CP's, though Killens does not say so) and the "double V" conception espoused by local NAACP activists. They were held with the support of New Profile (a feminist and antimilitarist organization), while the last two seminars, which had higher attendance, enjoyed additional support from the environmentalist organization Green Action, which hosted them. They normalized, privatized, and defanged the rebellious, gender-bending, antimilitarist ten dencies among young Germans. |
