We don't think of Civil Rights movement as populist in part because it worked with technocratic liberals. But popular protest was core.

We also don't think of CR movement as populist because it was predominately black. And we think of "the people" as implicitly white.

The possibilities of populist politics are different if you see "the people" as multiracial and not just implicitly white.
