Question

Was he African American? Jarex 23:00, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for leaving group

This makes it sound like Moses left SNCC because of its turn towards black power. This is not supported either by Carmichael's autobiography or C. Payne's I've Got the Light of Freedom. Both of those indicate it was more due to sheer burnout and under-funding than ideological splits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.64.54.68 (talk) 19:14, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It also was in 1965 before Carmichael took over SNCC, as per Taylor Branch's books. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.234.22 (talk) 07:15, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Voting restrictions

Where the article says "...under legal restrictions which made it nearly impossible for black citizens to qualify to vote..." it would be really helpful to readers (and to myself...) if a link was put in which allowed the reader to know what these legal restrictions were (as well as how and why they made it nearly impossbile..to qualify to vote. This is important background for people to know. I'm hoping someone else can add that in, someone who would know the best wikipedia entries AND external site link for background on this) --Harel 17:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Harvard doctorate in philosophy?

The statement that Moses "returned to Harvard and completed a doctorate in philosophy" needs documentation, if it's true at all. I see that he received an honorary Doctor of Science degree, but that's not a Ph.D. in philosophy, which is what the statement implies. According to the Harvard Gazette, he "dropped his Harvard doctoral studies in the philosophy of mathematics." http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2006/06.08/03-honorands.html 70.107.91.117(talk) 19:41, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the basis of the Harvard Gazette bio, I changed "completed a doctorate" to "did further graduate work."Debell (talk) 20:19, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both the Harvard Gazette and the Aloi piece say only that Moses received a master's from Harvard. If he received a Ph.D., why didn't they say so?Debell (talk) 02:22, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

civil rights section not referenced

Considering Mose's documented extensive work during the Civil Right Movement why is there only one reference in the whole section?
