Which statement best represents a change in philosophy regarding the civil rights movement in the 1960s?

The Black Power movement marked a shift toward self-determination: it emphasized that African Americans could organize and address their own problems rather than rely on others to bring change. This makes “The Black Power movement believed that African Americans could solve their own problems” the best answer. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call for nonviolent protest reflects an earlier, established approach, not the change in philosophy asked about.
