Which is what Hillary was saying.

What happens if you have the activism without the politicians? A revolution? Even a successful revolution takes professionals to put together a working government afterwards.

In my opinion, if there had been no political leaders who were willing to respond to the Civil Rights leaders and the people they inspired, then the more violent factions would have prevailed and we'd have had civil war instead of civil rights.

But we still would have needed someone to pick up the pieces after the fighting stopped. And God only knows what they would have cobbled together. Not every people has been fortunate enough to have people with the wisdom and ideals of our Founders.
