Strokely Carmichael

By Jade Balchin

quotes
There is a higher law than the law of government. That's the law of conscience.

The secret of life is to have no fear; it's the only way to function.

Before a group can enter the open society, it must first close ranks.

Achievements:

Strokely Carmichael achieved many things throughout his career including these:

In 1961 strokely went on a freedom ride

which was a group bus tour through the South to test whether or not the bus and station facilities obeyed the Supreme Court rulings. Strokely was arrested and imprisoned for 49 days ,this only motivated him more and h went on doing more freedom rides.

Carmichael joined the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. He became field organizer for Lowndes County, Alabama. He increased black voters from 70- 2600 . The major Politian parties did not recognise his hard work, so Carmichael decided to create his own party. He founded the Lowndes County Freedom Organization that had a logo of a black panther. This black panther became an inspiration to a black activist organization founded in Oakland, California.

In 1966, when Carmichael became chairman of the SNCC he didn't believe in the idea of nonviolence resistance as much as he once did. Carmichael banned all white members from his party and him and his member James Meredith went on a "walk against fear", he was shot and unable to finish the walk. Carmichael and the SNCC volunteers finished the walk and Carmichael said we will no longer call this freedom it is black power.

Experiences

Strokely Carmichael experienced many good things and many horrible things these are a few:

worked with Martin Luther King Jr.

Carmichael's parents immigrated to New York when he was a toddler

He had to live with his grandparents until the age of 11

Then he followed his parents to the United States

In 1969, Carmichael quit the Black Panthers and left the United States to take up permanent residence in Conakry, Guinea. Changing his name to Kwame Ture to honor both the president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, and the president of Guinea, Sékou Touré, he dedicated his life to the cause of pan-African unity.

Events

Joined the black panther legacy- Carmichael took a trans formative journey, traveling outside the United States to visit with revolutionary leaders in Cuba, North Vietnam, China and Guinea. Upon his return to the United States, he left the SNCC and became prime minister of the more radical Black Panthers. He spent the next two years speaking around the country and writing essays on black nationalism, black separatism and, increasingly, pan-African ism, which ultimately became Carmichael's life cause.

Freedom Summer with the SNCC- Carmichael left school at a critical moment in the history of the Civil Rights Movement: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee had dubbed the summer of 1964 "Freedom Summer," and rolled out an aggressive campaign to register black voters in the Deep South.

Impact

"Black Power" Era. Strokely Carmichael (1941–1998) was a civil rights activist and national chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1966 and 1967. He is credited with popularizing the term "Black Power."

He changed freedom to Black power

Legacy

An inspired orator, persuasive essayist, effective organizer and expansive thinker, Carmichael stands out as one of the preeminent figures of the American Civil Rights Movement. His tireless spirit and radical outlook are perhaps best captured by the greeting with which he answered his telephone until his dying day: "Ready for the revolution!"

Rosa Parks was born in 1913 and grew up surrounded by former slaves turned racial equality activists. She refused to give up her seat to a white man and was jailed for the night and given a court date. The NCAAP believed that the Rosa Parks case would be a perfect opportunity to create real change. They started a boycott of public transport and decided not to use the bus anymore. The boycott was successful and profits for bus sales in the city of Montgomery dropped exponentially. This led to the segregation of black and white to be revoked.

Summary paragraph on three civil rights activists  By Laura Keverkis

All  Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and Bayard Rustin where three influential people that fought for racial equality in their own ways which gave them the title of being a part of the civil rights movement. Martin Luther king had influenced the civil rights movement with his world renowned speech "I have a dream" that supported equality for all people in the united states black and white which not only sparked the nation but the world. Rosa Parks movement by not giving her seat up on the bus started stopping racial segregation on public facilities around the nation  by only standing her ground which awarded her the title of "the first lady of civil rights". Bayard Rustin achieved equality for blacks by refusing to register for the draft resulting in him being jailed for two years, but Rustin was able to make a big movement within civil rights by desegregating the US military leaving him as one of the civil rights influencers.

Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks all influenced the civil rights movement in the US in similar but totally different ways. All of these people were very smart and strong people, Martin is the youngest person to even win a Nobel peace prize, Rosa was the first lady of civil rights winning people of colour the right to sit freely on a bus and Thurgood  acted and won many cases involving the laws of segregation. Martin Luther King is probably the most well know out of the three today and students are learning of his heroic acts during the civil rights movements.
