Black pride is a movement which encourages black people to celebrate their respective cultures and embrace their African heritage.
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.

Because the dominant white culture in America treated African Americans as subalterns rather than full American citizens and full human beings, the black pride movement encouraged black Americans to look to Africa for their cultural origins.

ISBN 978-1-55849-756-6. In 1966 the Black Power-black nationalist-black pride movements emerged as equal and opposite reactions to white racism as a reaction of the biracial civil rights movement.
