Civil Rights / Black Power (podcast)

This new podcast explores the transformation of the Civil Rights Movement after 1965, examining the shift from integration and nonviolence towards Black Nationalism and militant self-defence. The hosts investigate the reasons for these changes, including disillusionment with the pace of progress, socio-economic disparities in the urban North, and the growing influence of figures like Malcolm X. Furthermore, they analyse the results of this radicalisation, such as the emergence of the Black Panther Party, the rise of black cultural pride, and the increased focus on issues of economic inequality, alongside the tragic assassinations of key leaders like Martin Luther King Jr.
