They are called 'sky walkers' because they walk fearlessly atop steel beams just a foot wide, high above the city. Who are these Mohawk sky walkers? What is their secret for overcoming fear? Has 'sky walking' replaced an ancient rite of passage? Or is it the pure need to adapt in order to survive?

Robert F. Williams, leader of the NAACP in Monroe, NC, and a WWII and Korean War veteran, organized and advocated armed defense of the Movement against this racist violence, which emanated not only from the Klan but from police and sheriff departments (often closely connected to the Klan). Williams placed a special emphasis on recruiting veterans. The NAACP removed him from his position, and the federal government persecuted him, forcing him into exile, first in Cuba then in China. From Cuba and China, he edited the radical black newspaper, The Crusader, and broadcast the radio show, Radio Free Dixie. He had a profound influence on the Black Liberation movement.</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Verdana" size="5" style="font: 19.0px Verdana"><br></font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Verdana" size="5" style="font: 19.0px Verdana">Jim Smethurst teaches African-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and has authored many articles and books on the African American struggle and culture.
