Reverend Richard Hamel dedicated himself to bring forth issues concerning Civil Rights Act and discrimination against blacks. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Hamel created the Citizens Council in 1965. He expressively defended principles of freedom as well as equitable and fair treatment to all citizens in Boston.
He disagreed with Black Muslims who advocated violence, the food of Islam, a totalitarian or bureaucratic organization. However, Hamel stated contradictory remarks when considering civil rights law and how it applies, such as in a business context where blacks conducted to work in a store owned by a white or such as a minority has been pushing us for too long.
