By Kimberly Winston

“So often you hear about religious people involved in the civil rights movement, and as well you should, but there were also humanists,” said Norm R. Allen Jr. of the Institute for Science and Human Values, a humanist organization based in Tampa, Fla.

 Allen has promoted recognition for African-American nonbelievers since he founded the group African Americans for Humanism in 1989.
