		Kwame Toure, known as Stokely Carmichael when he was an organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, died of prostate cancer on November 15, 1998 in Conkry, Guinea, where he has lived for the last three decades.
		So today, he is Kwame Ture, an "African," and still, as he greets everyone, "ready for the revolution." To many who remember those eloquently defiant public challenges he flung at both fls and whites, he is certainly something of a mystery.
		And being in Africa with Nkrumah and Sekou Ture (President of Guinea), allowed him to function at that level." And as for why Nkrumah would ask someone from the United States to be his political secretary, in Cox’s view "a lot of the political dynamism was coming out of the states.

	A TRIBUTE TO KWAME TOURE/STOKELY CARMICHAEL:
		Kwame Toure died Sunday, November 15, 1998, in Conakry, Guinea, of prostate cancer.
		Two years later, Kwame Toure became the national leader of SNCC, and within days, he and Willie Ricks demanded "Black Power." In 1968, Toure left SNCC to be the Prime Minister of the Black Panther Party, which Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton had founded in October, 1966.
		In the face of the totalitarian danger, these facts can help a man to save himself; and he may then be able to call the attention of others around him to the presence and meaning of this reptile and its multitudinous writhings (Wright, 1953: 367).

		When Kwame Ture died in Guinea on Nov. 15, 1998, he was widely remembered for a fearless defiance of racism and capitalism that never flagged despite his long battle with cancer.
		Cuba's Fidel Castro was among those who later called Kwame as he lay ill. A friend who answered the phone at Ture's home one day remembers taking messages from South Mrica, Sweden, Australia, Italy, Guinea and, in the U.S., from California, Georgia, Michigan, Virginia and Washington D.C. — all in a two-hour period.
		The day after Kwame died, The New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle and other major news media depicted him as a narrow nationalist "opposing alliances with whites." This was untrue in terms of white people, as it was for peoples of color.
