Snick rises as Black Power advocate in civil rights era
The article traces Snick's evolution from a broad civil rights group to a black power affiliate led by Stokely Carmichael in Atlanta. It notes King’s distancing, the expulsion of white members, and Snick’s shift to immediate militant action and voter registration, with Carmichael at the helm and an all black leadership.
