CIVIL RIGHTS TO BLACK POWER

The Black Power Movement displaced the Civil Rights Movement in 1966, when Stokely Carmichael ( Kwame Toure) raised its clarion call. Its mere utterance sent forth shock waves! These waves resulted in the Black Panther Party, the Revolutionary Action Movement and others. Black Power leaders were either killed, run out of the country, imprisoned, or covertly immobilized by the end of 1980s. The point being Dr. King was killed in the Black Power era, April 1968, and was viewed as a black power proponent.
