Black Power

Black Power is a political and social movement that emerged in the 1960s, advocating for the empowerment and self-determination of Black people in the United States. It emphasizes racial pride, economic independence, and the importance of community control. The movement sought to address systemic racism, discrimination, and inequality through a focus on cultural identity and political activism. Influential figures, such as Stokely Carmichael and organizations like the Black Panther Party, called for solidarity among Black Americans to fight for their rights and challenge oppressive systems, fostering a sense of unity and strength within the Black community.
