black power movement =The Black Power movement was a political movement that intended to achieve Black Power. During the civil rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, black activists experimented with various forms of self-advocacy, ranging from political lobbying to armed struggle. The movement was originally inspired by the philosophies of pan-Africanism, black nationalism, and socialism, as well as by contemporary events like the Cuban Revolution and the decolonization of Africa.[1] The movement grew out of the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Many black people became frustrated with the Civil Rights Movement's reformist and pacifist elements, believing that these methods were not doing much to change race relations in the country at the time. Those who sought more direct action gravitated toward the Black Power movement. Early leaders of the Black Power movement included Robert F. Williams and Malcolm X, but the cornerstone of the movement was the Black Panther Party, an organization explicitly dedicated to the protection of black people in the face of institutionalized racism and violence perpetrated by the state. At the peak of the movement in the early 1970s, some of its more militant leaders were killed during conflicts with police, causing many
activists to abandon the cause. Nevertheless, the influence of the Black Power movement continued, as seen in the Caribbean's creation of the Black Power Revolution.
civil rights movement=Civil rights movements are a worldwide series of political movements for equality before the law, that peaked in the 1960s.[citation needed] In many situations they have been characterized by nonviolent protests, or have taken the form of campaigns of civil resistance aimed at achieving change through nonviolent forms of resistance. In some situations, they have been accompanied, or followed, by civil unrest and armed rebellion. The process has been long and tenuous in many countries, and many of these movements did not, or have yet to, fully achieve their goals, although the efforts of these movements have led to improvements in the legal rights of some previously oppressed groups of people, in some places.

The main aim of the successful civil rights movement and other social movements for civil rights included ensuring that the rights of all people were and are equally protected by the law. These include but are not limited to the rights of minorities, women's rights, and LGBT rights
