Redistribution of wealth happens all the time. Right now your tax dollars are being redistributed to Iowa farmers to help produce ethanol, even though it's a bad idea.
The wealthy pay more of the tax revenues because they have the money. Their wealth is distributed across the country because the poor can't afford to build roads or aircraft carriers.
In the 1950's black people had very little wealth as they were not permitted equal access to society. This doesn't mean that they didn't contribute of course, but that they didn't see the benefits.
So why wouldn't someone fighting for equality seek to redistribute wealth knowing that without it civil equality would be difficult to achieve?
