Discover the History of the African American People!
Throughout American history, the African American community has been at the heart of some of the most significant movements and iconic images. These symbols have captured the mood of both the country and the black community at various times.
The phrase "black power" stands out as one of the most straightforward yet powerful expressions of pride and unity within the African American community. However, it also came to signify the more controversial and sometimes violent aspects of the fight for equality, making it a topic of debate both then and now.
Perhaps the most striking image of black power is a clenched black-gloved fist raised high, symbolizing defiance and pride. This salute was emblazoned in history during the 1968 Olympics when athletes Tommy Smith and John Carlos stood on the podium, raising their black-gloved fists as they received their medals.
The origins of the phrase "black power" are not rooted in protests or riots but were actually coined by Robert Williams, the head of the NAACP in the early 1960s. Dive deeper into this fascinating history inside the book.
