The collective members have not become scholars of ancient revolutions but rather what Stokeley Carmichael calls "students of the revolution." Their studies have taught them the importance of high-energy media: in Sympathy For The Devil (1+1) the Rolling Stones build from a low-key ballad to a revolutionary anthem ("I killed the Czar and his ministers") while Godard's smoothly moving camera...

Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called Stokeley Carmichael's kind of Black Power "racism in reverse." He deplores the attitude of the black radical fringe, which has lost all faith in the democratic process, and is convinced that it must be scrapped.
