First civil rights movement in history where the "oppressed" have to hide who they really are from mainstream society in order to achieve their goals. Can you imagine an abolitionist in the 1860s advising escaped slaves not to talk about what life is like on a slave plantation because if the truth got out it could harm the movement?
