Not to be confused with black gay pride.
In the United States, it initially developed for African-American culture[1] and was a direct response to white racism, especially during the civil rights movement.[2] Stemming from the idea of black power, this movement emphasizes racial pride, economic empowerment, and the creation of political and cultural institutions.[3] Related movements include black power, black nationalism,[2] and Afrocentrism.
