description: In this lecture, James Farmer discusses the struggle for black activists’ identities. He explains how black Americans changed their names and standards of beauty. The search for identity was a positive force; however, it had negative consequences, including stoking a hatred of whites, a racial division within CORE, and a split in ideologies in the Civil Rights Movement. Farmer states that 1966 was when the Black Nationalist idea was born, with a speech given by Stokely Carmichael. Violence, separatism, as well as black exclusiveness, identity, and pride was growing among the black youth.
