Kwame Ture - African Culture

Stokely Carmichael: Kwame Ture (1941-1998)

One of my favorite Trinidad brothers. I've been so ticked-off by King Leopold II expropriation of the Congo wealth, natural resources and genocide; Henry Morton Stanley's exploitation of African labor, land and wealth; The Kaiser of Germany's Second Reich genocide in Namibia; The Portuguese (damn what didn't these guys do to Africans!) ; The Dutch and British rape of South Africa (I didn't even get to the massive wealth accumulation in the West Indies and Suriname) ; The Spanish stealing the land and wealth of South and Central America along with the lives of Africans and Native Indigenous People in the Americas; The Australian's blackbirding (enslaving) the people in the Pacific Islands and the genocide of the Tasmania People. Sometimes you need a Stokely Carmichael break to keep your sanity. I hope you enjoy his little talk. Lately the audio for Mr. Carmichael's videos have been mysteriously scrambled. So maybe we can listen, before these tapes get censured too.

Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael)


Kwame Ture the man formerly known as Stokely Carmichael represents one of the most energetic voices from the Civil Rights/Black Power Movement. As we discover the history of 400 years of enslavement and the 100 years of subjugation following emancipation, certain voices like Kwame Ture from the struggle for black freedom emerge. These people were the generals in the freedom struggle. It wasn't easy. I thank them for their earnestness in times of cynicism.

Here is a Kwame Ture interview from 1996, what a treasure.
