the Rastafari religion, the Nation of Islam & Malcolm X, and the Black Power Movement to name a few.

In fact, the vision and mission statements of African Voices Forum are aligned with the ideals of Garveyism

[African Voices Forum @AVoicesForum]

He held the belief that the entire African diaspora needed permanent mass organisation. This was a concept expanded from his mentor Kwame Nkrumah's ideas around unifying Africa, as expressed in his book Handbook of Revolutionary Warfare. #BlackHistoryMonth

[African Voices Forum @AVoicesForum]

In recognition of US Black History Month, AVF will be posting important people and events from African-American history.

Our second historical figure is Kwame Ture, born Stokely Carmichael. Ture was born in Trinidad, 1941, but grew up in Harlem New York from age 11.

[African Voices Forum @AVoicesForum]

In 1978 he changed his name to Kwame Ture, in honour of his patrons Kwame Nkrumah and Ahmed Sekou Toure.

For the final 30 years of his life, he was dedicated to the All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP).
