A Mrs. Bland, staff worker for MAW, said that members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), many of them white college students (described by Carmichael as the "kids who go to Europe one summer and to Alabama the next"), were the ones who got MAW started. "I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world," she said. "We don't care whether you're blue, purple, or brown with yellow polka dots, we want you to work with...
