During the Civil Rights Movement, the Nation of Islam was an influential religious and political organization that advocated for Black self-determination, empowerment, and separation from mainstream American society. Led by figures like Malcolm X, the group promoted a message of Black pride and resilience, often critiquing systemic racism and advocating for a distinct identity. While its views were sometimes controversial, the Nation of Islam played a significant role in shaping the discourse around race and civil rights in the United States. Its emphasis on self-reliance and community solidarity resonated with many African Americans seeking justice and equality.
