Actually I think you might find the correct answer to be A. Philip Randolph, a very early civil rights activist in the 1930's who used the phrase in both his socialist publication 'Messenger' and in his Pullman union newspaper The Black Worker. The earliest known usage of the term in book was in 1954 by Richard Wright in a book titled Black Power. New York politician Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. used the term on May 29, 1966 during a baccalaureate address at Howard University:"To demand these God-given rights is to seek Black Power."

And the guy's name you cited above is StokelyCarmichael, who first publically used the phrase 'black power' in a chant he used on the Meredith March on June 16, 1966 at a rally in Greenwood, Mississippi. He likely picked up the phrase from Adam Clayton Powell the previous month. Carmichael was a graduate of Howard University and a huge fan of Powell's. Carmichael, who had become the new Chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee about the same time as Powell's commencement address, also recruited heavily from his alma mater for members of the SNCC. When Powell is initially denied his rightful seat in the U.S. House of representatives in 1967, Stokely Carmichael and the SNCC are right in the middle of the protests at the U.S. Capital.

Stokely Carmichael certainly popularized the phrase 'black power', but did not introduce it. It is a term that has been used in black history as far back as records in Africa.
