Black Theology and Black Power
"Black Theology and Black Power" is a movement that emerged in the 1960s, combining religious beliefs with the struggle for civil rights. It emphasizes the importance of African American experiences and perspectives in understanding Christianity. The movement seeks to address issues of oppression, racism, and social justice, advocating for the empowerment of Black communities.
The term "Black Power," popularized by leaders like Stokely Carmichael, calls for self-determination and political strength among African Americans. It encourages individuals to take pride in their identity and heritage, promoting a sense of unity and collective action. Together, these concepts challenge systemic inequalities and inspire activism.
