His Black Power speech reignited the movement of that name, and in 1967 he and Charles Hamilton wrote the book Black Power. In these essays on racism, Black Power, the pitfalls of conventional liberalism, and solidarity with the oppressed masses and freedom fighters of all races and creeds, Ture addresses questions that still confront the African world and points to a need for an ideology of Pan-Africanism. Stokely Carmichael (19411998) began working with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in 1960 and became chairman in 1966. Kwame Ture knew the destiny of African people could not be separated from that of oppressed people all over the world. Stokely Speaks: From Black Power to Pan-Africanism is written by Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) Mumia Abu-Jamal and published by Review Press/Lawrence Hill Books. In the speeches and articles collected in this book, Kwame Ture traces the dramatic changes in his own consciousness and that of Africans in America that took place during the evolving movements of Civil Rights, Black Power, and Pan-Africanism. Source: Stokely Carmichael, Stokely Speaks: Black Power to Pan-Africanism. Stokely Carmichael was the controversial and charismatic young civil rights leader who, in 1966, popularized the phrase 'black power.'
