Black Nationalism is a political and social movement that seeks to promote the interests and culture of Black people, often advocating for self-determination and the establishment of a separate nation or community. It emerged in response to systemic racism and oppression, aiming to empower Black individuals and communities through cultural pride and economic independence. The movement has roots in various historical contexts, including the works of figures like Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X. Black Nationalism emphasizes the importance of unity among people of African descent and often intersects with broader movements for civil rights and social justice.
