]]> Comment on If the People Lead, the Leaders Will Follow by Richard Gwynallen http://www.radicaltorah.org/2007/01/18/199/if-the-people-lead-the-leaders-will-follow/#comment-34827 Richard Gwynallen Sun, 06 Jan 2008 17:46:27 +0000 http://www.radicaltorah.org/2007/01/18/if-the-people-lead-the-leaders-will-follow/#comment-34827 I agree with much of what the writer said, and don't want to suggest anything he may not have meant, but I do think we must tread a narrow line between desiring to advocate forthe rights of another people and being paternalistic. It seems to me that the examples given, such as Martin Luter King, Jr., are examples of leaders arising within their own people, who face the reactions of segments of their peole who have been beat down by their opporession as Rabbi Leifert so well describes. Those leaders experienced and understood the conditions of oppression their people faced, and could from experience articulate their pain and aspirations. Their people responded to them because they knoew they were of them and accurately spoke for them. They had the confidence of segments of their people. It becomes more complicated when you are not of the people for whom you are advocating. I think those of us outside of an oppressed community need to found our support on elements of leadership within those communities. Otherwise, we run the risk of assuming to understand conditions of which we do not have direct experience, and advocating actions for which we do not have to live with the consequences. I am suggesting inaction. I have done a great deal of international support work in my life. I am suggesting that we look to leadership in the oppressed community. I realiuze this is a very brief comment, and, as such it ma be rather vague. If it creates any confusion, I apoligize.

For the assessment, I allowed one of the students to do comic book-style report, and another to do an interpretive dance. That was quite an experience.
