Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As chairman of the SNCC, Stokely Carmichael advocated for blacks to form their own political organizations, such as the Lowndes County Freedom Organization (also known as the Black Panther Party), as he believed that black people needed to take control of their own political destiny rather than relying on the Democratic Party, which he saw as only using them for votes. While Carmichael's rhetoric was often confrontational and militant, he did not advocate for extreme violence or the back-to-Africa movement. Though he did frequently criticize white people and the racism he saw in American society, he did not call whites inherently evil or devils as a general statement.
