I'm looking into this too. It looks like the term 'black' might have been pushed into common usage by Malcolm X, who viewed the term 'Negro' as a degrading European word. Stokely Carmichael, a black radical in the 1960s, first used the term 'black power' in defiance of whites. He did end up intimidating mainstream whites, who quickly interpreted 'black power' as something violent and dangerous.

In the minds of the Student Committee members, the most damning indictment of white society [was] the fact that there [were] more than 30 civil rights killings in the [previous] decade and only three convictionsnone for more than 10 years."
