Abstract

This episode of "Like It Is" features Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture) discussing the significance of African identity, Black Power, and Pan-Africanism. He emphasizes that language shapes thought and advocates for organizing the Black race globally to combat racism and capitalism. Carmichael reflects on his activism, the importance of revolution by any means necessary, and the interconnectedness of struggles across Africa and the Black community in America. He stresses that true change requires organized, revolutionary effort, love for the people, and continuous education through reading and studying to empower oppressed communities and build a unified movement for justice and freedom.
