KWAME TURE: VISIBILITY OR POWER

As revolutionary Pan-Africanist Kwame Ture stated, "We want power. We don’t want money, we don’t want fame, we don’t want fortune, we don’t want popularity, we want power. Power comes only from the organised masses." In this short clip, Kwame Ture talks about the difference between visibility and power. Africans can be seen these days appearing to have succeeded in politics. These can range from former US President Barack Obama and current US Vice President Kamala Harris to Rwanda President Paul Kagame and Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo.

But do we have power? What is the difference between visibility and power? Ture, who transitioned into an ancestor on this day in 1998, broke it down in this 1993 interview with US journalist Charlie Rose.
