Abstract
This chapter explores the three forms of the Black national struggle and demonstrates that the Civil Rights Movement was an integral part of Black nationalism, a part that cannot be understood adequately by itself. Black nationalism or struggle manifested itself in three overlapping forms: cultural, reformist and revolutionary. Too much emphasis has been given to its reformist aspect, which is the Civil Rights Movement, and the cultural and revolutionary aspects of this movement have been suppressed by the media, politicians, and scholars ideologically, politically, and intellectually. The chapter reevaluates the features and impact of the Black movement in order to explain the complex problems of the Black community in America.
