I love this brother. He did so much for us that he is not recognized for today and I hate that we don't recognize what he and others did on behalf of the black people in this country.
There is recognizing a man's legacy and then there's understanding how someone's thoughts can undo the work that has lead to the economic benefits of a small group, regardless of race, versus the neglect that has come to the masses. That's why a music artist is pulled into a room at an airport by the FBI after that artist takes one of Kwame's books out of a library.
This Brother was participating in 1964, did this interview in 1986, and it's 2020 and everything is still very relevant today!! DEEP BROTHER!! R.i.P. "Eye On The Prize" should be required viewing for every student!!
What an amazing unselfish human being. He truly loved African people. Thànk you for your insight, and allowing us 21st century Revolutionaries we are ready - to inherit the blueprint for the revolution.
Have you read the paper of the FBI? Prevent the RISE OF A "MESSIAH" who could unify, and electrify, the militant black nationalist movement. Malcolm X might have been such a "messiah;" he is the martyr of the movement today. Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael and Elijah Muhammed all aspire to this position. Elijah Muhammed is less of a threat because of his age. King could be a very real contender for this position should he abandon his supposed "obedience" to "white, liberal doctrines" (nonviolence) and embrace black nationalism. Carmichael has the necessary charisma to be a real threat in this way. And he also said this: He had said that his cancer "was given to me by forces of American imperialism and others who conspired with them."[2] He claimed that the FBI had infected him with cancer in an assassination attempt. And also King got killed? Can't be a coincidence.
Met him once in the sixties and I wrote about our meeting, The story is called Blackness or the day I stopped being black. Check out Chief’s Story Page on Facebook.
Long live the unselfish revolutionary pan-Afrikan Spirit of Brother Kwame Toure. Build the All Afrikan People's Revolutionary Party. Ready for the revolution
@@MrPatriickzz Agreed. We'll have to intensify the revolutionary struggle for Africa's liberation, unification and independence. The plenum must get to a critical mass.
Mr. Stokely narrative of the civil rights struggle within the Democratic party then let me know two things. No.1 , thoses same issues that they were dealing with then, we as Blacks are dealing with them now. No. 2 President Johnson was not a person of good character.
A Great Black Man A True Revolutionary!! I have started reading and learning about Stokely Carmichael Kwane Ture. I'm planning to get the book about him. Rest In Power our Brother and Revolutionary Brother
I and others were privileged to see and hear Kwame Ture when he spoke to our group at what was Savannah State College at the time. Our group was the All-African Peoples Revolutionary Party. Kwame Ture would stress to us "organize, organize, organize".
An incrediblely fantastic human being. His spirit transcended beyond the relevancy of his time.Today people are embracing it ..It's needed more so today. R.I.P Kwame Toure.
@roc Indeed. Most of these revolutionaries were motivated by love not hate. They were not just fighting for Black liberation, they were fighting for the liberation of white who have been lied to that they are perfect, and they get the shock of their lives when they come face to face with Black Consciousness.
Baba Kwame Ture wasn’t intimidated one bit and he told like it is. Baba Kwame Ture is a great Pan African warrior who don’t tolerate injustice and inequality.
He talked about an independent party for Black people and those who stood with our goals for liberation (23min mark) I believe that this is why he was run out of the country. He wouldve turned this thing on its head!
We had some brilliant minds working, striving and fighting on our behalf and they did it at such young ages, 18, 19 and 20 year's old. A huge contrast to young adults today but we must not give up on young people, we need them! All it takes is a few insha'allah ✊🏿
Remember from his description of the old woman at the onset of the video - we are dealing with a deeply disturbed opponent. A sick people. Similar to a rabid dog. Like trying to keep Kujo as a house pet. 👳🏿♂️
Kwame's strategy and tactics are still applicable in Aug 2020. An independent black political party would have more power than at present where the desires of Africans are subsumed and neutered within the Democratic Party. As an example the Congressional Black Caucus too often compromised and silent as an oppositional force to the pressures of the DP. Kwame's analysis is so incisive and spot on. He is realistic and practical, and the emphasis on organizing is a lesson for those advancing the people's struggle today.
Very powerful, thank you for this. The outing of John Lewis, the explanation of just why whites had to be jettisoned from leadership positions, the observation that in the scheme of whiteness, Black lives do not matter... and the end piece on anti-war positions was the perfect point to close the interview.
Kwame wanted to keep whites out of the battle but he did not let this contested issue fracture SNCC. One of our greatest tacticians and revolutionaries
He made a wise choice. White communists seek a oligarchy that oppresses all those that don't agree with them. Blacks would go from one hell to another following them.
I think black Americans should work with each other achieve their ultimate liberation,before seeking white people's assistance in any form. Proper organizing is key
Such a powerful interview. A hero of his time. I remember him in the news, b&w pictures, his ideas. But to see him speak here: the restraint, the dignity, the clarity & even the simplicity of what he wanted. What human beings need & want is fundamental. The opening description of the old white lady indecently raising her cane & his decent response brought tears to my eyes. The rest of the interview blew my mind, giving so much context. I love that this was the unedited interview - the halts & progression of it made this history even more vivid & necessary to know. Carmichael defined “institutional racism” as “the collective failure of an organization to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their color, culture or ethnic origin.” So 🙏🙏
Organizing brings harmony of purpose, methods and goals among many allowing them to function collectively as one for a set of goals again st all odds. Its building an army.
He never claimed 🇹🇹 he claimed African liberation. He said trinidad is not his land its the indigenous ppl land. Black African power. Know your history on him before you misplace his effort for African ppl across the world. He was never jacking Trinidad.

His comments on the critical importance of organizing is good revolutionary politics. 38:23 - "You would come, mobilize the people, kick up a lot of dust -- and then leave. Maybe a legislation would be passed, but there would be no organized force here, even to take advantage of that legislation which was passed. So consequently for me, the organizational power is still the only means to advance the people's struggle scientifically and properly. Not the mobilization; only the organization." This is true throughout time and place. From revolutionary Russia to the Arab Spring, the only changes that stay put, and the only forces that can direct society, come when people are firmly organized. There is no other substitute for this; everything else is fleeting.
The obvious. The forces that be try their damnest to destroy your image or character and influence the black mass to continue ignorance. Turn on the radio. This man was on what im on today but our ppl...play too many games
Today's date is August 21st 2020. Just a few weeks ago during John Lewis's funeral, Bill Clinton had the nerve to attempt to make Stokely look as if he was a rebel. Just in this 1 interview, Stokely put all of black peoples issue in perspective than John Lewis did in all his years in Washington.
@Akim Smith Still there watching in silence....you guys have a whole new set of trolls so be careful....makes my blood pressure go up especially when I see the same ones on other videos I watch. Russia, Iran and China according to reports have unleashed a huge number of trolls to divert our pages and net based traffic.......so i will just be cool and listen in silence.
Kwame Ture was a rough and tough African liberator, mentor and hero of all time. Baba Kwame Ture worked with Mama Fannie Lou Hamer in Mississippi to fight against racial injustice during the murders of Brother Medgar Evers, Brother Emmitt Till and Brother James Chaney. Both Mama Fannie and Baba Kwame encouraged African people in Mississippi had civil rights and they wouldn’t be intimidated or denied. Baba Kwame wasn’t intimidated at all and he was even better than John Lewis.
Baba Kwame Ture was inspired by Omowale Malcolm X by encouraging Africans to fight back against racial injustice and inequality. African people to never fearful or ashamed of who they are and where they are from and to know that Africans have been in so many liberation struggles in our history and we have accomplished our fights.

itr really saddens me that all are intelligent leaders have gone to teh ancestors we need them know them ever in this 20th century there work has still be unfullfilled
Awesome interview. The only thing I'm really confused about regarding those times was the nationalist vs non-nationalist sentiments. Here it seems they disagreed on a lot, but the Panthers were non-nationalist (they were strongly internationalist) but I know Kwame and the Panthers were very much allied on most things. Can someone explain it to me a bit better?
I think I can help here. In political terms, "nation" refers to a people or ethnic group while a country is referred to as a "state" (what used to called the "nation-state", implying that each nation should or does occupy it's own state) That is where we get the term "international", which is has come to mean "across countries/states". The nation/group here is what Ture calls "Africans", which includes entire population of African descendants across continents. So the nationalists were people like the Black Panthers that looked at the struggle as the liberation of all "black" or "African" people worldwide (internationally). The "non-nationalists were those who wanted to integrate into the American state and had a more limited political agenda (voting rights, desegregation) that didn't center around the liberation of black people as their own nation, with their own ideas and culture separate from the larger American population. Hope that helps!
In our current times of 2020 and all this foolishness going on. I would love to pick his brain and get his opinion of the current pres election. Being granted "BAD CHOICES," makes me this of what a professor told a class of mine some years back. She said we as melanated folk had to do better in these elections. And primarily our elders and ancestors didn't just die and get injured to vote. But to vote with substance behind it and not just because. They didn't endure what they did to have us participate in foolishness and folly. I hate the term some of my elders refer to, "vote for the lesser of the evils." Ummmm, guess that's why so much is still either similar or worse, with yes, some changes for the better of the collective
I love this brother. He did so much for us that he is not recognized for today and I hate that we don't recognize what he and others did on behalf of the black people in this country.
WE DO recognize him, his status is that of nobility and honor as one of our very own Black Shining Prince
There is recognizing a man's legacy and then there's understanding how someone's thoughts can undo the work that has lead to the economic benefits of a small group, regardless of race, versus the neglect that has come to the masses.
