These resources will help you teach about the Black Power movement in the USA from the perspectives of the men and women involved.

These materials enable students to see what Black Power activists said and did and to gain an in-depth understanding of their struggle for civil rights. Note: Be prepared for the sensitivities that may arise in studying this topic.
