Stokely Carmichael changed his name to Kwame Ture.

Joanne Chesimard changed her name to Assata Shakur.

Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammed Ali.

A lot of this was popular with pro-blacks and Pan-Africanists back then.

Any other alternatives?

Stop using fake fallacies in attempts to be rebellious and accept your heritage to be an American 1. But don't settle for that, use what you have which is a citizenship to change the circumstances of yourself and others. A name change is a nice fukk you in regards to the establishment. But its not really a game changer in the main scale of things..........and to be honest unless you plain on doing something grand with your name change its kind of pompous to change to an "African" name when your heritage while distant African is that of America...........:yeshrug:

I'm Ghanaian, but I'm Muslim and have Arabic first and last name as well as both my parents.

I never cared about these things.

My ancestors changed the spelling of their slave masters name. From Bunbury to Bumbrey.
