This term came into use in the civil rights era, a time when a number of young black men and women were frustrated with the slow pace of integration and wanted a more proactive response to racism. The expression "Black power" first was used around 1966. It referred to black people taking back the power from white people by becoming more influential in society: some people in the movement were more militant than others, but the general idea of the movement was to advocate from a position of strength, to speak up about racism, and to refuse to accept being treated as second-class citizens any longer.
