African American Home The Modern Day Black Power Movement
In the 60’s the watchword for African Americans was Black Power. The meaning behind the term meant political, social and economic power for many disenfranchised African Americans.
Over 40 years later a new modern day movement has taken place, and this movement is working to uplift a host of communities across America. Many have coined it the modern day Black Power movement. Unlike the movement in the 1960’s and early 70’s this movement required no protest, fist clenching or even slogans to empower African Americans.
