Congress on Racial Equality (CORE)

Is this a left-wing group?

NO. CORE is, IMHO, the only Civil Rights Organization that is carrying forth Dr. King's message of "Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but rather by the content of his character."

Niger Innis is the Executive Director and he is as Conservative as you can get.

Hardly.
Those of us around in the '60's remember this as one of the (you'll pardon the pun) core 'civil rights' groups, but their leader, Roy Innis, is a Conservative, a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment, and is even a Director of the NRA.

Not all 'civil rights' groups are a bunch of whining ninnies looking for more government handouts.
