The journalist Mark Whitaker says that much of what's happening in American race relations today traces back to 1966, the year that the Black Panthers were formed. Here's why.
What Stokely realized, particularly after the passage of the, was that just registering Blacks in the South to vote really wasn't going to get them that far, as difficult as that was. Why?

After Selma, he was famous and he used that fame to go around the country and also overseas to raise money for SNCC. So that was good for SNCC's coffers, but it actually distanced him from a lot of the SNCC membership. And so he got out of touch with this increasingly militant mood that was taking shape in 1966. And that spring there was one of these periodic retreats that SNCC would have the entire membership ... discuss strategy, but they would also elect officers for the next year.
But the other effect was internal. John Lewis had always stood for the principle of SNCC being open to white membership. He had a lot of very close friends among some of the original white members of SNCC.
