Black consciousness movement

The Black consciousness movement asserted Black pride, self-determination, and intellectual autonomy in response to colonialism and systemic racism, reframing Blackness from a marker of oppression into a source of power and value. It emphasized that liberation required not just legal equality but psychological decolonization and the building of independent institutions.
