  • Description: The Black Power movement had a profound effect on the symbolism, rhetoric, and tactics of radical activism outside of the African American community during the tumultuous late 1960s. Scholars have long credited the civil rights movement for fomenting the emerging movements of women, gays, and others in the late 1960s and early 1970s.1 Although the black struggle for civil rights undoubtedly affected the growing efforts of other marginalized and oppressed groups in the United States, it was the Black Power movement that had some of the most visible influences on the radical activist struggles of Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans, giving rise to a visible movement of radical ethnic nationalism. This nationalism endorses centrally organizing around ethnicity or race, while simultaneously working very closely with other ethnic groups to realize fundamental systemic change and freedoms that transcends race. By 1968, young activists from Asian American communities had been impressed and inspired by the militancy, political analysis, and organization as well as symbolism of black nationalists and Black Power advocates. No organization influenced these burgeoning militants more than the Black Panther Party (BPP).
