The following afternoon, Thursday, August 18, 1966, Carmichael
and Minister Louis appeared together ‘at a private reception and
cocktail party at Estelle's Restaurant, Roxbury. They both
made it clear they wanted to unite with all Negro groups
regardless of their philosophy.
On that evening at 8:00 p.m., Carmichael was guest speaker at
a rally sponsored by SNCC at Lowell Hall, Harvard. Minister
Louix X was in the audience and was greeted by Carmichael with ©
the traditional Muslim, "A Salaam Alaikum", and introduced
to the audience. ;
The two appeared together again on Saturday, August 20, 1966,
oneeing the stage at a rally on Intervale Street, Roxbury , at
Carmichael summed up the unity he and Minister Louis X had been
exhibiting for the past few days with these words:
"We're going to turn our ghettos into communities
of love, love for each other,
"Our only salvation lies in coming together
whether we like each other or not.
"We've got to move and come. together to
control the politics and economy of our own
communities so that the money comes back into
our communities and not out to the suburbs."
Both Minister Louis and Carmichael were emphatic in their content
that the theme for Negro progress is "self love" to replace the
"self hate" that has hampered progress and unity for so long.
Another article in the August 27, 1966, issue of the Bay State
Banner quoted Carmichael as defining "black power" while at the
cocktail party at Estelle's Restaurant on August 18, 19866, as the
need "for black people all over this country to band together
to take the things we need in whatever way we can get them - by
force if. necessany". He said the time has come for the black
man in America to move to join hands with "non-whites all over
the world to participate in the revolution of the Third World".
