Kwame Ture Laid to Rest in Guinea-Conakry

HeadlineNov 23, 1998

They came from California and Chicago and New York and Conakry, people who wanted to honor the man who electrified America and the world more than 30 years ago with his cry of “Black Power!” Kwame Ture, who gained fame as Stokely Carmichael, one of the most prominent civil rights activists of the 1960s, was buried yesterday in the West African capital of Guinea-Conakry, his adopted hometown. We’ll have more on that story later in the show.
