His followers sell orange-colored Lumumba shirts and party cards to raise money; any black man caught in Stanleyville without his party card was apt to get a beating from Lumumba's toughs. Opposing fragmentation of the huge colony, Lumumba preaches national unity under a strong central government, but his kind of unity strikes fear in the hearts of many whites.
