Topic Civil Rights Act of 1964 Book: A Patriot’s History of the United States Author: L. Schweikart and M. Allen
“Separatists led by Stokely Carmichaeldemanded “Black Power!” and urged blacks to start their own businesses, schools, and militias…. Panther leaders fell far short of King, however, when it came to having either character or courage: Huey Newton went to prison for killing a police officer; Eldridge Cleaver left the country; and evidence surfaced revealing that other Panthers had executed their own members suspected of being informants. King might have been able to step into the chasm (gap) separating the radicals and the moderates if he had lived.”

Topic Civil Rights Act of 1964 Book: A People’s History of the United States Author: Howard Zinn
“ ”Black Power” was given the new slogan—an expression of distrust of any “progress” given or conceded by whites, a rejection of paternalism (protectionism). Few blacks (or whites) knew the statement of the white writer Aldous Huxley: “Liberties are not given, they are taken.” But the idea was there, in Black Power. Also, a pride in race, an insistence on black independence, and often, on black separation to achieve this independence. “

Exemplar SEEC ParagraphExemplar Paragraph (SEEC Format): While many of the goals of the Black Power movement were admirable, the methods used to achieve these goals only achieved some of the progress of the African-American Civil Rights movement. [1 pt] The radical activism of the Black Panther party and other Black Power groups served to mobilize many progressives, particularly African Americans. [1 pt] For example, the demands to be excluded from the Vietnam War helped war protests grow large, aiding the Civil Rights movement. However, many standpatters would have been turned off by demands for monetary reparations and the arming of all African Americans. (Doc.1) [ 2 pts.] Therefore, this radical activism was an important part of the Civil Rights Movement, but more moderate approaches will also be essential in advancing the cause of African American Civil Rights[1 pt.]
