The growing popularity of Malcolm X and the Black Power movement in the 1960s reflected a shift in the African American struggle for civil rights, emphasizing racial pride, self-determination, and a more militant approach compared to the integrationist strategies of earlier leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X's emphasis on black identity and empowerment resonated with many who were frustrated with systemic racism and the slow pace of change. The movement encouraged a sense of solidarity among African Americans and inspired a broader cultural and political awakening that sought to challenge and dismantle oppression. Ultimately, it laid the groundwork for subsequent activism and discussions around race and inequality in America.
