This is not correct.

The word "woke" as a political term predates that group- York started trying to found a group in 1967, and "woke" was first used to warn black men of threats from racially motivated whites in 1931, by a singer named Lead Belly, then even more directly as a political term in 1971 in a play called "Garvey Lives!"

Whether York used it that way or not, it's clear that he didn't invent the usage.

I'm pulling most of this info from Wikipedia and Google to save anyone else reading the effort.
