He was everywhere. Stirring up crowds. Stirring up trouble. A close associate of Stokely Carmichael, Ricks was one of the movement's most militant, fearless, charismatic and effective organizers: the brains and brawn behind countless sit-ins, marches, demonstrations and boycotts throughout the South. He has described his life as a series of \"beatings, bombings, shootings, fights and assassinations.\" This is his story - and the story of others like him who played a critical role in advancing the notion of Black Power and, in the process, touching off a firestorm of fear-mongering in white America and a revolution in the way that African Americans perceived themselves and their struggle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6096221\"\u003eGary G.
