Kwame Ture was a Trinidad-born, u.s.-raised Pan-Africanist & revolutionary socialist. He first gained prominence under his birth name, Stokely Carmichael, as a civil rights activist with SNCC in the 1960s; his politics became revolutionary & internationalist with the emergence of the Black Power movement. From the late 1960s, he moved to Guinea-Conakry, formed the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP), & changed his name to Kwame Ture in honor of Kwame Nkrumah & Sékou Touré. He remained politically active up to his death; his co-authored book with Charles V. Hamilton, Black Power, was republished during his lifetime under his chosen name.
