Did Farmer or Carmichael blame White America for killing Dr. King ?
Stokely Carmichael defines Black Power as : “ The goal of black self-determination and black self-identity — Black Power — is full participation in the decision - making processes affecting the lives of black people , and recognition of the virtues in themselves as black people . ” " Those of us who advocate Black Power are quite clear in our own minds that a ' non - violent ' approach to civil rights is an approach black people can not afford and a luxury white people do not deserve .
