Black Power
This is Stokely Carhmichael. He was the first person to use the words 'Black Power'. At first he was an integrationist but after a while became affiliated with black nationalism and Pan-African affairs.
After Carmichael participated in the Freedom Summer of '66, he was angry at the democratic party. This is because they would seat African-Americans at the National Convention. That and the Alabama White Rooster party for white democrats caused him to create the Black Panther Party.
