It is used in the movement among people of Black African descent throughout the world, though primarily by African Americans in the United States. The movement was prominent in the late 1960s & early 1970s, emphasizing racial pride & the creation of black political & cultural institutions to nurture & promote black collective interests & advance black values. "Black Power" expresses a range of political goals, from defense against racial oppression, to the establishment of social institutions & a self-sufficient economy.
