Black Boy Chapter 17-18

While Richard is in the communist party he learns the voice he has and that other people have. He starts to realize the true power of words. Before, he used his words to display emotion but now he starts to learn that his words can draw people into a cause. This is when he truly learns the power of someone's voice and the voice of the communist power in general. I think this plays into the question we're meant to answer. I think one voice can move a crowd into action. All it takes is one person to spark an idea. Once an idea has been thought up and that person speaks it if enough people hear it and like the idea then they will start to follow it. Then they will start talking about it and more and more people will join into the idea. Eventually all it would take is the original idea-man to tell all of his followers what to do and more then likely they will do it. It is as simple as that for one person to move a group of people.
