Changed Stokely Carmichael to Kwame Ture. Ture changed his name because his previous one was a slave name. Stop joking around, you don't see Freddie Mercury's article referring to him as Farrokh Bulsara. Kwame Ture was his legal and preferred name. Besides, the article already pointlessly uses Ture and Carmichael almost interchangably.
/* */ Used his chosen and CORRECT name in the article.

please see talk page and establish consensus for making the change to his name
Kwame Ture is his chosen name. Regardless of whether people refer to him more by his birth-name, by his choosing of his name, it becomes the most valid way to refer to him. Also, the way that Black people (more specifically African/Black-Americans) are referred to was inconsistent, so most references to "blacks" were changed to "African-Americans", unless found within quotes; cases of "black" were also capitalized..
