Black History Month: The Revolutionary Minds That Molded and Led The Black Panther Party

Stokely Carmichael
Carmichael is best remembered as the man who coined the term “Black Power” but his ideals often left him at odds with the Student Non-violent Coordinating Comittee [SNCC], for which, he became Chairman in 1966, and the Black Panthers.
After being ousted from the SNCC in 1967, Carmichael joined the panthers and served as the Honorary Prime Minister. But he didn’t remain with the party long because he opposed Huey’s idea of working with whites. Carmichael left for Guinea where he remained and died in 1998.
