Card 11 / 14:
How did the message of Black Power advocates differ from that of more mainstream civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King, Jr.?
King and his followers strove for racial integration and the political inclusion of African Americans. They also urged for the use of nonviolent tactics to achieve their goals. Black Power advocates, in contrast, believed that African Americans should seek solutions without the aid of whites. Many also promoted black separatism and accepted the use of violence.
