Once the National Chairmen for The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and a Freedom Rider, Ture later became the prime minister for the Black Panthers. In 1969 he moved to Guinea, West Africa, devoting the rest of his life to the Pan-Africanism movement and changing his name from Stokely Carmichael.
