    The Poor People's Campaign : how it operated - and ultimately failed - within the structure of a formal nonprofit
    (2012) Hall, Emily M.; Burlingame, Dwight; Grim, Valerie; Little, Monroe H.; Kaufman-McKivigan, John R.
    This thesis shows that because the Poor People’s Campaign was created by and operated within the formal structure of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) - a nonprofit organization - it was unable to achieve success by almost any measure. SCLC’s organizational structure made it extremely difficult to create a national campaign from the ground up, and its leadership strategy guaranteed that it would be virtually impossible to sustain that kind of national campaign.
