Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture)
References
On June 29, 1941 in the Port
of Spain, Trinidad, West
Indies, Civil Rights activist
Stokely Carmichael was
born.1 Just two years after he
was born, his parents packed
up with his two sisters and
immigrated to the United
States. Raised by his aunts, he
later moved to America with
them at the age of eleven. In
America ,Stokely and his
family lived in a flourishing
predominately Jewish and
Italian community.
Early Life
The Road to Activism
Figure 1: Stokely
Carmichael in a 1969
interview
Even though he was involved in a street
gang as a youth, Stokely was ultimately
accepted into the prestigious Bronx High
School of Science.1 Upon graduation he
received various offers from prominent
colleges, however those offers were
declined and he attended the University of
Howard in Washington D.C. During his
college years at Howard, he began to join
Civil Rights protests organized by the Non-
Violent Action Group. Stokely felt that
there needed to be a change for African
Americans in America. Therefore, he was
one of the first volunteer freedom riders.
While he was a freedom rider, Stokely was
arrested and sentenced to forty nine days in
the Parchman Penitentiary.2 Overall
Carmichael was arrested at least thirty-two
times during his involvement of Civil
Right’s demonstrations.2

Career
Soon after graduating college, Carmichael became a full time activist.
He worked as a field organizer for the SNCC ( Student Non-violent
Coordinating Committee). In addition, he organized the voter registration
protest in Alabama and helped construct the Lowndess County Freedom
Organization. It was not long before Carmichael would move up the
career ladder, becoming the head chairman of the SNCC. Changing the
previous values of former SNCC chairman John Lewis, Stokely revised
the organization’s integrational rules, which ejected white members.
Carmichael would soon drop his position as chairman to become the
prime minister of the extremist militant group, the Black Panther Party
(BPP).2 Later he would eventually break all ties with the BPP. He was
also the first African American to be elected for city council and not long
after that, by a land slide he became a member of the House of
Representatives.3
Civil Rights
“A man is born free.”
-Stokely Carmichael
Repelled by the barbaric actions on “Bloody Sunday", Carmichael
headed to Selma Alabama, on March 1966. This was after King
issued a call for other’s to join his movement.1 Later believing the
non-violent approach was ludicrous, Stokely stated in his book Black
Power, “ We have no choice, but to say… move over (white people),
or we’re going to move over you.”3 During a demonstration in
Jackson, Mississippi in May 1996, Carmichael concluded his speech
with the slogan ,“Black Power.”3 Fear spread throughout white
communities as the slogan hit headlines, signaling an era of white
fear.
Family
• Stokely’s first marriage was in 1968 to the famous African singer
Miriam Makena, in which they had one child. Both voluntarily
went into exile in West Africa a year later. 2
• Stokely’s second marriage was with Marlyatou Barry an Guinean
physicist, in which he had one child with and later divorced.2

Legacy
Diagnosed with prostate cancer
in 1966, Carmichael began
writing his memoir with the
help of his good friend,
Ekweme Thelwell. In August
of 1988, he returned to Africa
to live out his last years, later
dying. His legacy may be the
guidelines for making change
that he established through
Ready for Revolution, his auto-
biography.4
