Stokely Carmichael's call for Black Power focused on the need for African Americans to take control of their own lives and institutions, rather than relying on white-dominated systems. This included electing black candidates and creating independent schools and institutions. Option A and D advocate for violence and retaliation, which was not a central part of Carmichael's beliefs. Option C suggests a radical solution of African Americans returning en masse to Africa, which was not a widely discussed or supported idea in the Black Power movement.
