Understanding the Black Power Movement during the Civil Rights Era
Untitled Worksheet
Source Analysis: The Black Power Speech
Source A: 'The Black Power Manifesto'
"We demand respect, equality, and the right to define our own destiny. The Black Power movement is about asserting our identity and fighting against oppression. We believe that true freedom can only be achieved when Black people control their own communities, their politics, and their economy. It is time for Black people to stand up and take control of their future, rejecting the passive acceptance of segregation and discrimination. Our struggle is for dignity, self-determination, and justice. We will no longer be silent or accept second-class status; Black Power is about empowerment and pride." Provenance: Statement issued by the Black Panther Party, 1966, political manifesto
