Stokely Carmichael (1941-1998), later known as Kwame Ture, was a prominent civil rights activist and a key figure in the Black Power movement. Born in Trinidad, he moved to the U.S. at age 11 and became involved in the Civil Rights Movement while attending Howard University.
As a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Carmichael championed direct action and voter registration drives in the Deep South. His call for “Black Power” in a 1966 speech marked a shift toward a more militant approach to achieving racial justice and self-determination for African Americans.
Carmichael later aligned with the Black Panther Party before moving to Guinea in 1969, where he worked alongside Pan-Africanist leaders like Kwame Nkrumah and Sekou Touré. His legacy continues to influence movements for racial and social justice worldwide.
