Stokely Carmichael transformed the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) by shifting its focus from nonviolent protest to a more militant approach that emphasized Black nationalism and self-determination. He popularized the slogan "Black Power," which encouraged African Americans to take pride in their identity and demand political and economic control over their communities. Under his leadership, SNCC also began to prioritize grassroots organizing and mobilization, embracing a more confrontational stance against systemic racism.
