Stokely Carmicheal in Nashville <\/strong><\/p>\nBack in the day on April 8th, 1967, black power activist Stokely Carmichael delivered a speech at Vanderbilt University. As an invited guest to the Impact Symposium organized by students there, Carmichael\u2019s arrival to Nashville, Tennessee a few days prior to the event was met with much controversy. The Tennessee State Senate, a local newspaper and trustees all tried in vain to prevent the chairman of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee from coming to town. Once in the Nashville area, Carmichael delivered a speech the night before the Symposium at Fisk University where he beckoned that \u201cthere is going to be a change and a change soon in this community.\u201d The following night after the activist\u2019s address at Vanderbilt, an African-American was ejected from a restaurant when picketers and police clashed in the aftermath. In total, disturbances continued for three days as one hundred were arrested. <\/p>\n
Carmichael was quick to catch blame for directly or indirectly provoking the violence. In his defense, he pointed to the actions of the police as the real cause. <\/p>\n
