Stokely Carmichael / Kwame Turewas a prominent organizer in thecivil rights movementin the United States and the global pan-Africanmovement. Born in Trinidad,he grew up in the United States from the age of 11 and became an activist while still in high school. He was a key leader in the development of the Black Power movement, first while leading the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee(SNCC), then as the "Honorary Prime Minister" of the Black Panther Party(BPP), and last as a leader of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party. Carmichael was one of the original SNCC freedom ridersof 1961. He became a major voting rights activist in Mississippiand Alabamaafter being mentored by Ella Baker and Bob Moses. He became disillusioned with the two-party systemafter the 1964 Democratic National Convention failed to recognize the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Partyas official delegates. He decided to develop independent all-black political organizations, such as the Lowndes County Freedom Organizationand, for a time, the national Black Panther Party. Inspired by Malcolm X'sexample, he articulated a philosophy of Black Power, and popularized it both by provocative speeches and more sober writings. Carmichael became one of the most popular and controversial Black leaders of the late 1960s. J. Edgar Hoover,director of the FBI, secretly identified Carmichael as the man most likely to succeed Malcolm X as America's "black messiah".The FBI targeted him for counterintelligence activity,so Carmichael moved to Africa in 1968. He reestablished himself in Ghana, and then Guineaby 1969.There, he adopted the name Kwame Ture, and began campaigning internationally for socialistpan-Africanism.
Tureis credited with coining the phrase "institutional racism", defined as racism that occurs through institutions such as public bodies and corporations. In the late 1960s Ture defined "institutional racism" as "the collective failure of an organization to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their color, culture or ethnic origin".The period in 1966 when Ture and other SNCC members managed to register 2,600 African American voters in Lowndes County was significant in terms of real, positive, tangible influence on people's lives."Ture is credited with expanding the parameters of the civil rights movement, he spoke truth to power to what so many millions of young people were feeling. He actually cast a light on people who were in prisons, people who were welfare rights activists, tenants' rights activists, and also in the international arena.Tureis remembered for his actions in James Meredith's March Against Fear in June 1966, when he issued the call for Black Power. When Meredith got shot, Carmichael came up with the phrase and gathered a crowd to chant it in Greenwood, Mississippi. Already, earlier that day, he had been arrested for the 27th time; he spoke to over 3,000 people that day in the park. He also participated in and contributed to the Black Freedom Struggle. He never switched from left to right in his politics as he got older and celebrated both Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and interpreted their murders as United States desperate attempt to quell the voice of its own people.
