The Black Hammer Party, formerly the Black Hammer Organization and commonly known as the Black Hammers, is a Black nationalist group that advocates black separatism, conservatism, decolonization, and political violence. The organization was founded in Atlanta, Georgia in 2019, by ex-members of the African People's Socialist Party, and has undergone a transition from far-left politics to far-right politics. It rose to prominence in the early 2020s amidst the George Floyd protests and the 2020–2023 United States racial unrest, when it attempted to construct a compound in the Rocky Mountains which it named "Hammer City."[7][8][9]
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution described the organization as mixing "Black nationalist rhetoric and a revolutionary message with hot-button issues like anti-vaccine myths and election conspiracies." Commentators, including former leaders and members, have referred to the organization as a cult.[7][8][9] The group reportedly recruits among the homeless population.[10][11] As of 2023, it is unknown if the organization is still active.

By 2021, while still promoting their "Land Back" goals, the group's leader, Gazi Kodzo, began advancing a more far-right narrative. After failing to acquire land in Colorado in July 2021, the organization has since pivoted to focusing on their objection to Covid vaccine mandates as well as voicing support and staging protests for the January 6 Capitol insurrectionists whom Gazi refers to as "Freedom Fighters." Kodzo has also promoted the Proud Boys and appeared on Gavin McInnes' (the Proud Boys' founder and former leader) show, advocated for formalized segregation in a video titled, "Why I agree with MAGA," touted election conspiracy theories, and voiced support for Marjorie Taylor Greene after she was removed from Twitter.
