Description
This document collection will introduce students to the history, philosophy, and goals of the Black Power movement through the words and images of its leading figures. Students will engage with a wide range of primary sources, constructing an argument based on the central question: How did the rhetoric of Black Power reimagine the relationship between African Americans and white people in the wake of the integrationist civil rights movement? Students are guided in their analyses of the documents by a learning objective, central question, historical background, source headnotes, source questions, project questions, and suggestions for further research. Through their work with these documents, they will gain a deeper awareness of the diversity of the American experience, a more complete understanding of the present in an historically-based context, an enhanced ability to read, interpret, assess, and contextualize primary sources, and practice explaining historical change over time.
