Black Consciousness Movement

The Black Consciousness Movement was a movement in the 1960s and 1970s that was started by black people in South Africa to help fight against the system of apartheid, which was designed to keep black people separated and treated unfairly. The main goal of the movement was to empower black people to have pride in their race, culture, and a sense of self-determination and freedom. The movement aimed to unite black people to work together to fight against injustice and inequality and make sure that black people had the same rights and privileges as white people. Because of the Black Consciousness Movement, black people in South Africa were able to gain more political and economic freedom than before.
