He rose to prominence through the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), later served as Honorary Prime Minister of the Black Panther Party, and became closely associated with Black Power, Black nationalism, and Pan-Africanism. His organizing, speeches, and political education emphasized self-determination, resistance to racism and imperialism, and international African unity.
