WHY DID PEOPLE FOLLOW MALCOLM X?
WHAT IS IT ABOUT FAITH THAT INSPIRES?
Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael was born June 29, 1941. He was a Trinidadian-American and an active revolutionary in the civil rights movement.
Kwame Ture can be described as a MLK, Malcolm X hybrid that rarely if ever slandered members of the civil rights movement but stood firm in his beliefs of Black power and Power to the people. In his later years he became increasingly radical in his philosophies and approach.
Kwame Ture began his road to revolutionary as a a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). He is said to have coined the phrase "Black Power".
Kwame Ture later became the "Honorary Prime Minister" of the Black Panther party and leader of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party.
Organization vs. mobilization and awakening the "unconscious" are two revolutionary theories that Kwame Ture pushed during his later years after leaving America to live in Guinea Africa. We will examine these theories.
