Abstract
Carnell Locklear recalls his fight for Lumbee Indian rights in eastern North Carolina in the 1970s and 1980s. He describes his efforts, via both non-violent protest and legal means, to attain federal assistance for Lumbee Indians, who long before had earned government recognition at the price of benefits. Locklear describes his ascent through the ranks of the protestors, his sudden descent and the movement’s fracture, and his life after departing the movement.
