Identify some of the ways that Black power politics sought to transform the political aims of the Civil Rights movement.

July 23, 2024July 23, 2024 Discipline: History

Write an essay in which you identify some of the ways that Black power politics sought to transform the political aims of the Civil Rights movement.  In developing your analysis, use the writings of Malcolm X, Bobby Seal, and CLR James as examples to support your claims. You do not need to make a case for a singular political project uniting Malcolm X, Seal, and James, rather you need to identify each as a political thinker interested in transforming civil rights politics into Black power politics in a particular way.
