Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Stokely Carmichael, original name of Kwame Ture, (born June 29, 1941, Port of Spain, Trinidad—died November 15, 1998, Conakry, Guinea), West-Indian-born civil rights activist, leader of black nationalism in the United States in the 1960s and originator of its rallying slogan, “black power.”. Inspired by Malcolm X's example, he articulated a philosophy of "black power", and popularized it both by provocative speeches and more sober writings. Carmichael became one of the most popular and controversial Black leaders of the late 1960s.
