Stokely Carmichael

• • His book- Black Power (1967)- Carmichael set out what he saw as the characteristics of the Black Power Movement- he wrote that non-violence was foolish when faced with 'someone (white) bent on destroying you'
  • He urged black Americans to 'close ranks' & reject interracial protest
  • He emphasised solidarity with anti colonial movements in the less developed nations
  • He envisaged eventual integration- but only when black Americans could be accepted as real equals
• Black Panther rather than Carmichael who were mot famous advocates of Black Power
