"One of the tragedies of the struggle against racism is that up to now there has been no national organization which could speak to the growing militancy of young black people in the urban ghetto"

- Stokely Carmichael

About this Quote

This quote by Stokely Carmichael talks to the absence of a unified voice for the Black neighborhood in the fight against racism. He regrets the fact that there is no national organization that can represent the growing militancy of young Black individuals in the city ghetto. This is a disaster since it implies that the voices of those most impacted by bigotry are not being heard. Without a unified voice, it is difficult to make progress in the battle against bigotry. Carmichael's quote highlights the need for a nationwide organization that can represent the Black neighborhood and give them a platform to speak up against bigotry. Such a company would be an effective tool in the battle versus racism and would assist to ensure that the voices of those most impacted by racism are heard.
