To complete a book-length study of moral revolution in a group of ordinary citizens which will integrate the theoretical and the practical approach. The practical side consists of an in-depth study of a community organizing group--Rising Up Angry (Chicago 1969-1976). Study traces the historical development of a new moral theory within the group and the process of moral revolution within members of the group. PI expects to reveal a great deal of rationality in such revolutionary development.
