Tufts University professor of history Peniel Joseph joined Jim Braude and Margery Eagan on Boston Public Radio to talk about his new book, Stokely: A Lifeabout civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael.
Carmichael began as an organizer of non-violent protests, but was also integral in the founding of the Black Panther party before leaving the U.S. entirely.
Joseph is the co-founder of the Tufts Center for the Study of Race and Democracy and the author of Waiting 'Til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America, and Dark Days, Bright Nights: From Black Power to Barack Obama.
