Other Perspectives on Civil Rights

Question 6 • Fall 24 US History B IC

How did the Black Power movement change the civil rights movement?

Answer
A
It encouraged African Americans to work together with whites.
B
It discouraged alliances with supportive and sympathetic whites.
C
It discouraged African Americans from creating their own political organizations.
D
It encouraged the African American community to shift its focus back to integration.

Explanation

The Black Power movement emphasized Black pride, self-determination, and African Americans building power within their own communities. Compared with earlier civil rights strategies that often included interracial coalitions, it was more skeptical of relying on white allies and discouraged alliances with supportive and sympathetic whites. The other choices describe cooperation with whites or a return to integration, which were not defining shifts of Black Power.
