Black nationalism, or "Black Power" as it is sometimes known focused on black people improving their own communities, rather than fighting for full integration into American society as a whole.
The Civil Rights movement
There have been many, from the colonial era to present day nationalist movements. However, arguably the most prominent would be the civil rights movement of the mid-twentieth centurty. The civil rights movement of the 1950s to 1960s resulted in American civic nationalism prevailing over ethnic nationalism, as legal barriers preventing African Americans from attaining the full citizenship were removed, officially enfranchising African Americans as equal citizens as guaranteed by the Constitution.
A civil rights movement fights for the rights of all people. A civil rights movement wants to change laws that ensures equality for all people. There are civil rights movements all over the world.
The key principle of the teachings of Nationalism, particularly in the context of the Black Nationalist movement, emphasized self-determination, racial pride, and the establishment of separate institutions for Black people. This often stood in contrast to the civil rights movement's goal of integration and equality within the existing societal framework. While civil rights activists sought to dismantle systemic racism and achieve equal rights within a unified society, Nationalism focused on empowerment through separation and self-governance. Thus, the two movements differed fundamentally in their visions for racial justice and social change.
People had equal rights, both black and whites.

"A Change Is Going to Come" is a song by Sam Cooke that reflects on the civil rights movement and the hope for change. You could discuss how the song's themes of struggle and perseverance relate to faith and the belief in a better future. Encourage your congregation to reflect on their own experiences of change and how they can contribute to positive transformation in their communities.
This would be Fascism.
