During and a few years after the latter part of the Jim Crow era, a more "violence for violence" type of anger ensued. Figures such as Malcolm X, Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam, Paul Robeson and the Black Panther Party became the dominant groups of the Black Power Movement. The black power and civil rights movements of the 1960s were fundamentally working-class and poor movements that had a major impact on the Afrikan-American community (Marable, 2000 (1983): 30, 90; ibid, 2007). In 1968, for example, there were over 2.5 million black members of the AFL-CIO (American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) and the UAW (International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America). Black workers held the most dangerous and lowest-paid jobs within unions (Marable, 2007) and it is for these reasons that they suddenly rebel against white employers. They helped decrease the unemployed population in the community, helped organize workers to join unions and fight for fair pay, better working conditions, etc., and increased their political, economic, and social capacity. For example, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters movement was the first black labor organization to receive a charter from the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Among leaders, such as A. Phillip Randolph, also a founder, of local civil rights movements by virtue of their organizational experience, constant movement between communities, and freedom from economic dependence on local authorities. The Black Power movement also emphasized racial pride and the creation of black political and cultural institutions to cultivate and promote black collective issues and advance black values, in opposition to multiculturalism (which... half of paper... cks /Afrikan-Americans/Negroes to take back and redefine their identity on their own terms, to finally realize that they are not inferior and to claim their rights in their home or should I say home of America Kwame Ture and Charles V. Hamilton lo explains perfectly: “Where there is oppression there is resistance and 'where oppression grows, resistance grows'” (1967: 194). Black people resisted and won the battle, but the war is not over because the racism, marginalization, inequality and exclusion still exist in institutions today, despite the laws enacted, the aid provided and the fact that our current president of the United States is a black man. Black anger has become non just a self-fulfilling prophecy, but a necessary component of the Black American lifestyle!
