JerroldB’s Black History presents The Charismatic Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael

First of all, I don’t believe in black history month. I believe in black history, every month.

Read. Understand. Learn.

Let’s learn about Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael.

Now when the missionaries came to civilize us because we were uncivilized, educate us because we were uneducated, and give us some — some literate studies because we were illiterate, they charged a price. The missionaries came with the Bible, and we had the land. When they left, they had the land, and we still have the Bible. And that has been the rationalization for Western civilization as it moves across the world and stealing and plundering and raping everybody in its path. Their one rationalization is that the rest of the world is uncivilized and they are in fact civilized. And they are un-civil-ized….

Kwame Ture (born Stokely Carmichael, June 29, 1941 – November 15, 1998) was a U.S. civil-rights activist for the Civil Rights Movement and the Pan African Movement who in the 1960s originated the black nationalism rallying slogan, “BLACK POWER.” Born a Trinidadian-American, he immigrated to New York City in 1952. While attending Howard University, he joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and was jailed for his work with Freedom Riders. He moved away from MLK Jr’s non violence approach to self-defense.
