LONG BEFORE the militant segments of the civil rights movement began their rumblings about "black power," it was obvious, especially in the South, that a crisis in "black-white relations" was emerging. Although problems of interracial relations within the civil rights organizations had existed, these had always been considered part of the dynamic process of moving toward true racial brotherhood and unity. Until very recently, all civil rights groups (including Congress of Racial Equality [CORE] and Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee [SNCC] zealously championed black-white solidarity. In fact, SNCC had as its emblem a white hand and a black hand clasped in brotherhood. Other groups, including CORE, had analogous emblems or slogans. The anthem of the movement, "We Shall Overcome," was rarely sung without including the stanza, "Black and white together, we shall overcome."

It emphasized racial pride, economic empowerment, and the creation of political and cultural institutions. During this era, there was a rise in the demand for Black history courses, a greater embrace of African culture, and a spread of raw artistic expression displaying the realities of African Americans. The term "Black Power" has various origins. Its roots can be traced to author Richard Wright’s non-fiction work Black Power, published in 1954. In 1965, the Lowndes County [Alabama] Freedom Organization (LCFO) used the slogan “Black Power for Black People” for its political candidates. The next year saw Black Power enter the mainstream. During the Meredith March against Fear in Mississippi, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) Chairman Stokely Carmichael rallied marchers by chanting “we want Black Power.” This portal highlights records of Federal agencies and collections that related to the Black Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
