US Studies Civil Rights Project

Stokely Carmichael



Question:

Do you think Stokely Carmichael's campaign for Black Power helped or hurt the Civil Rights Movement? Why or why not?

  1. He did have his mind in the right place but answering violence with violence is not the way to go. I admit, what he was doing was good.

  2. I think it helped a lot. Although his methods may not have been the best, he did instill a sense of pride in their identity as African Americans.

  3. First of all in one of the first slides, he is notorious for nonviolent protesting you had a typo.
    I think he did help because without him blacks would be a lot less tolerated and accepted. I think he changed the way people thought about being black.
    And i like the fact you mentioned he changed his name!
