What did stokely carmichael mean by the term "black power"?

Black Power was a political movement among black Americans in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Black Power emphasized the expression of a new racial awareness among black people in the United States. In a broader sense, the term refers to the conscious choice that black Americans made to promote their collective interests and values, to protect their own well-being and to achieve a certain degree of autonomy.  

The Black Power movement gained worldwide fame at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. The two black athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos clenched their gloved fists at the medal ceremony and were subsequently withdrawn by the American Olympic Committee of the Summer Olympics.
