Black Power Revolution

The Black Power Revolution was a period during the 1960s and 1970s when Black Americans fought for civil rights and demanded that the government recognize that Black people had the same value and rights as white people. During this time, Black Americans organized protests, marches, and rallies to push for social, political, and economic change for African Americans. It was a powerful time of unity and activism, and it led to more recognition of the challenges Black people face as well as more civil rights laws that would protect African Americans from racial discrimination.
