The Black Power Movement grew out of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, sparked by Stokely Carmichael's popularization of the term "Black Power" in 1966. While sharing goals of racial equality, the Black Power Movement advocated a more militant approach and focused on installing racial pride, self-determination, and establishing independent black political parties and institutions. Both religious and cultural elements contributed to the movement, which led to increased black cultural awareness and study programs before declining in the late 1970s.
