Only days following his first public cry for “Black Power,” CBS reporters cross-examined Carmichael after having broadcasted a short piece on SNCC’s organizing efforts in Lowndes County, Alabama that had culminated in the foundation of an independent party in that county.

With arms linked, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Stokely Carmichael walked down the highway as they continued the March Against Fear in 1966. As a patrol officer reared up like a bull towards the two leaders, Carmichael prepared to meet the officer when, to his surprise, King was bowled over instead by the officer of the law. Enraged, Carmichael pulled an arm free to go after him with only King’s clinging arm to hold him back. Stokely Carmichael gave a detailed account of that first day of the…

Post World War II, Americans face great affluence or wealth, but groups such as african Americans were left out of this.
