Yes, I believe that it is possible that one voice can move a crowd to action. It takes an extremely determined person to do it, but it is possible. In Black Boy, Young was able to move the entire club with his ideas and the presentation of his ideas. He was extremely motivated to push his ideas to the club, so everyone heard and believed him. Even though he was presenting these ideas without knowing the truth, he was still able to get people to believe him. He was so determined to make people believe him that Wright was even fooled into thinking he was correct in what he said. The ridiculousness of his ideas also grabbed the attention of his audience. It is possible to move a crowd to action with one voice assuming that the person is motivated, determined, and has a strong enough presentation of ideas to gain the attention of the people they want to move to action.

It's interesting how you mentioned that the ridiculousness of some of his ideas were able to catch the attention of his audience. I guess I didn't quite realize that point, but I agree. I know Wright mentioned that some of his ideas were crazy and how he was overly passionate about some of those ideas, but I guess I didn't make the connection on how that would catch the attention of the crowd too, although I doubt he would be able to motivate them to act in some way however.
