THE EXTENT OF THE BLACK POWER
PHILOSOPHY SUCCEEDING.

The following essay takes a look at the great extent at which the
Black Power Movement (BPM) succeeded in organizing African
Americans to challenge discrimination and segregation in the
United States of America in the 1960s.

REASONS FOR THE FORMATION OF THE BLACK POWER
MOVEMENT

The Black Power Movement grew out of the dissatisfaction of
black people with the achievements of the Civil Rights
Movement (CRM) in the second half of the 1960s. Though the
Civil Rights Movement helped achieve the gaining of the Civil
Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, the economic situation of
most African Americans had still not improved in the slightest.

Majority of blacks lived in overcrowded-ghettos with high crime
and poor living conditions being left to face low wages,
unemployment and a lack of better job opportunities. They were
still prone to experience discrimination and sometimes even
open racial abuse and violence.

Eventually blacks felt the Civil Rights movement to be
inadequate for its practice of non-violent resistance. They began
to lack for more aggressive resistance. Black people began
developing nationalist feelings as they became impatient about
the slow pace to change. Police brutality became the biggest
reason for the emergence of the Black Power Movement shortly
after the shooting of James Meridith in 1966.

THE BLACK POWER MOVEMENT PHILOSOPHY

The Black Power Movement was formed to ensure that black
people do things themselves without the help of the white man
