S. News reported that Sena tor Herman E. Talmadge (Dem.) of Georgia told the Senate: “Judging from Carmichael’s de spicable diatribe, his sole purpose is to breed violence. The law is more than adequate for dealing with Carmichael. He should be prosecuted for sedition, for advo cating the violent overthrow of the United States Government, and for interfering with the war effort in Vietnam.” On Tuesday, April 14, 1970, Stokely Carmichael appeared at Morehouse College to lecture on “From Black Power to Pan- Africanism.” During the past 16 months, Car michael has been studying under Kwame Nkrumah in Guinea. The man was “cool, sharp and dark.” Carmichael says the world is in political chaos. He said, “The problems of the black man in America today are capitalism, racism, imperialism,, our ancestry, drugs, the Pill, co alitions between the black man and the white man, and the revo lution. “The important factor for the black man to do today is to ana lyze our situation, study and pre pare to defend ourselves against a technical enemy. “Don’t ever think Africa is far away. It is much closer than you Says 'Africa is home' Carmichael raps again with AUC students By TETHKL WHITE may think and we are moving ahead together. We are moving towards that day when we will once again walk the face of the earth as a proud, liberated people. We will be a unified people all over the world and on the conti nent. Come back — Africa will not be just a dream, but it will be a reality. “Where best can black people get a land base? There won’t be one in America. Whitey won’t give it to you therefore we must seize it. If we seize it, can we bold it. If we hold it can we develop it? “The enemy is highly techni cal. If we seize a land base in the South, agriculture will, not defeat industry. History has prov en that with the War Between the States. “Look with me to Africa, the richest country in the world. It has everything. The earth there is rich in agriculture, gold, cop per, diamonds and other miner als. “We came from Africa. We must make it our priority — our future. I’m not saying go to Af rica now. We must begin to unify our community, take over all po litical institutions and power or ganizations that are in our com munity first. “We must pick up our guns but merely picking up our guns is not enough. We must have a po litical ideologoy. Pan-Africanism and guns equals a revolution. “One must study, especially his tory, before we can deal with a revolution. A person cannot ‘rap and do,’ unless he knows. We must study.” When he appeared on stage at Morehouse there seemed to be no physical change in the Stokely Carmichael that left the States 16 months ago. But there was a change in Stokely Carmichael — a mental change — and from his impact on the audience Tuesday night, Stokely Carmichael might well be one of the most influential black leaders in a black revolu tion.
