Speech, Dr. Alvin Poussaint, 1966
One historian described the Meredith March through Mississippi in June 1966, begun by James Meredith and carried on by others after he was shot and wounded, as the "last great civil rights march." Media attention focused on ideological differences between "black power" advocated by Stokely Carmichael and the non-violence preached by Dr. Martin Luther King. In this speech, Dr. Alvin Pouissant shows that for many on the March, which registered almost 4,000 African American voters, the two ideologies were not mutually exclusive.
