1.During the Civil Rights movement era which was between 1954 to 1965 this was a transforming period for African Americans fighting for "separated but not equal" still falling under racial discrimination, disfranchisement, and segregation. Although shortly afterwards the Black Power movement was created around these times that's when NAACP and Brown v Board struggled fighting for blacks rights. During this time was when blacks formulated actions made through churches, labor unions, communities, women's clubs and so forth. With the economic boom in the 1950s blacks did not benefit as the white were purchasing homes in the suburbs as to blacks struggled also making unemployment rate for blacks high. Both the Civil Rights and Black Power movement geared to help African Americans push for jobs, education, and exercising their rights to be equivalent whites. In both of theses times it was outstanding African American leaders starting different and numerous organizations to help blacks gear towards equality plus more. Majority of people in the Black Power movement changed their name such as Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael, Carmichael explains black power as, "

The Black Panther is an animal that when it is pressured it moves back until it is cornered, then it comes out fighting for life or death" Darlene Hine, William Hine, and Harold.2014).

Malcolm X founded his own Muslim organization he grew into the black power movement once he went to jail changing his name inspired by Elijah Muhammed. Malcolm thrive to help African Americans and their basic human rights, Malcolm had the right object politically standing for what he believed for blacks but culturally it effected others causing him to get assassined.

2.The Similarities in the civil rights movements was that people like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and the black panthers was that they were all fighting for equal rights among blacks. They were all fight for black rights to have the same rights as whites. They were wanting desegregation in the schools as well throughout the communities. Where they differed is that the black power movement was that the black power movement wanted the same equal right but were a lot willing to get violent and fight behind the black panthers for the rights. Whereas the Martin Luther King and his revolution believe in a peaceful fight where people could sit down and talk to resolve this issue. The civil rights movement also stood for all people to have equal right regardless of race not only blacks as the black panthers and the black power movement only empowered and fought for the rights of blacks. The difference between the two was almost comparable to the army to me. The civil rights movements would be the officers where they would take care of more of the political work fight case in court such as the NAACP would do and challenge the rights that way and do the paper work almost. Whereas the panthers would be your enlisted, which would take care of the dirty work. Willing to physically fight for the right but also work the streets to help the black community feeding and helping the homeless and poor people in the black community.

   So the two meant a lot and I believe we needed a bit of both worlds to get where we are as a people today. I believe that the NAACP would be everlasting such as they are still standing today and working hard because the route they chose to fight their battles. I do believe there is still the black power movement today but I believe it is has adapted some of the NAACP ways in trying to be more peaceful and just having true protest in standing up for what’s right and I believe that’s the black lives matter thing we have going on now. I believe it is a positive movement and a issue that should be talked about a lot more.
