The posthumous autobiography of the man who, as SNCC chairman in 1966, raised the cry of "Black Power." Built from nearly two years of interviews recorded before his death in Guinea in 1998, it follows Carmichael from his Trinidad childhood and Bronx schooling through the Freedom Rides, Mississippi voter registration, his breaks with SNCC and the Panthers, and his final decades as a Pan-African revolutionary in West Africa. It is a first-person history of the movement years by one of their most charismatic figures.
